Attached. I didn't have common-login, but I did have login, which I've
included instead.

I see this on two computers, one is a fresh Intrepid install, one an
upgrade.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I have the encrypted ~/Private enabled. In /etc/pam.d/common-auth is the line:
auth    optional    pam_encryptfs.so unwrap

If that line is commented out, then doing something like 'sudo ls' is instantanious after I enter my password. 

If that line is not commented out (like normal), 'sudo ls', or anything else involving my password such as logging in, and unlocking the screensaver take about 4 or 5 seconds longer than they need to.

The following is also syslogged. I'm not sure if it's relevant or not, but that 5 second delay seems to be the pause that occurs.

This doesn't seem to impair the functionality, but it is a little bit annoying.
