eCryptfs: need some help!

Hello,

I'm trying to follow this guide: http://sysphere.org/~anrxc/j/articles/e … index.html
and I'm stuck to this command:

chown user:user /home/user 

My $HOME directory is: /home/eric

So, I thought I should type: "chown eric:eric /home/eric"
but I got this error:

chown: invalid user: 'eric:eric'

I know this is probably a stupid mistake, but I can't find it!??

Thanks for your help.

Re: eCryptfs: need some help!

In arch, you are part of the users group by default. You don't have your own group.
chown eric:users /home/eric
