[Bug 364015] Re: Auto mount of encrypted home directory RANDOMLY stops to work
Hi Dustin, I am creator of this bug ;)
As for me I do not use libpam-ssh. I just have a fresh installation of
9.04 and I use workaround provided by you to have ssh public key auth
working. It works randomly, sometime I need to restart ssh and log in
again to have encrypted home dir mounted. I am also able to mount home
dir through ecryptfs-mount-private.

Bug description:
I had a problem with ssh public key auth and encrypted home directory in Jaunty. I fixed the issue by workaround provided by Dustin Kirkland:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/362427
But after reboot auto mount of encrypted home directory has stopped to work. There is only one error string in auth.log:
Mount of private directory return code [256]
At the same time I am able to mount home directory manually through ecryptfs-mount-private command. But /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private shows me the following:
keyctl_search: Required key not available
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
... looks like pam_ecryptfs is not able to read ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase
