@sciurius: you likely have something that scans your home directory (like a backup program) which isn't configured to skip over mountpoints? So it ends up scanning the public
directory, causing popups. Does that sound possible? Can you configure that program to exclude mountpoints? For example, duplicity has a --exclude-other-filesystems
flag.
Yes, I do have several file scanning tools that run nightly. But I never got the pop-ups until very recently. Did keybase change this?
Yes, we moved the true mountpoint on Linux from /keybase
to ~/.local/share/keybase/fs
, in order to fix a security issue. We are considering moving it elsewhere, as problems like this keep showing up.
My linux desktop is always on and logged in. Since a couple of days, [I presume since a keybase update was applied] each morning I find a couple of pop-ups "You accessed a public folder" on my screen. This may be the result of some file system scan that is executed nightly, but I never got these pop-ups, and --scaringly-- some of the pop-ups involve people that I totally do not know.
What is going on?
