ubuntostones- Aha! Thanks for the excellent detective work.
Absolutely, automatic mounting of encrypted ~/Private cannot work with automatic logins. Mounting of encrypted ~/Private requires you to enter your password at login. If you have not done so, the required key is not present, and thus it will not be mountable. As I'm a Server Developer (no gui, no automatic logins there), I'll need to have a discussion with the Desktop guys to collaborate on a way to solve this.

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils I created an encrypted private directory following the instructions here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory Everything worked as it should until I rebooted. When I try to mount my private directory I get the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mount.ecryptfs_private keyctl_search: Required key not available When I go to create a key, I get the following message: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ecryptfs-setup-private ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite. I can create a new passphrase if I use the force option, but I shouldn't have to do this everytime I reboot _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
