Administrative changes of user passwords when the user has an eCryptfs
mount will remain bugged (this is an eCryptfs limitation). However, there
are other larger things that could be hooked to PAM (e.g. LDAP). gst would
still need to keep a special-case of using regular privs to change the
current user's password.
