Hello-

I've spent quite a bit of time on this, and I really don't think this
can be solved properly.

If you can engineer a design that works, I'm all ears.  Thanks.

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
