Ok, I did that. The situation is the same. On the next login, the system accepted my public key but didn't mount home dir. The error is the same:
sshd[11368]: Mount of private directory return code [256] It's strange, but I made a restart of apache2, logged off from the system, then logged on and the system did mount the private directory. It looks like I do not need to restart sshd, I just need to type sudo command to have home directory mounted on the next login. Hope you are able to understand me and my efforts helps you.

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 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
