[Bug 364015] Re: Support a wrapped-passphrase.ssh, wrapped with an ssh private key
Hi Dustin,
Thanks a lot for explanation. Unfortunately such kind of home directory
encryption doesn't suit my needs. So, I have encrypted home directory
and I able to mount it only with login passphrase our mount it manually
in case of public key auth. In the last case I have to mount directory
every time after ssh login.
Is there any way to mount encrypted home directory manually only once(on
server restart)?

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
