Yes. That is accurate. However, you must ensure that there is nothing stored in your Private folder that's required to log into your system. If you keep getting kicked back to a gdm login window, this probably means that you have stored some information in your ~/Private folder that is required for logging into XFCE. Some configuration files of some kind. This is hard for me to debug, since I don't know what's in your Private folder. > c) The tutorial on > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory could be > completed with the answer to a) and b) Okay. :-Dustin -- pam_ecryptfs should respect ~/.ecryptfs/auto-[u]mount files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils >From user feedback on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory >wiki page... * "I hope there will also be an option for the ~/Private directory to ''not'' be mounted at login" Additionally, it would be nice to allow a user to "not unmount" ~/Private automatically on logout. The hooks are already in place in ecryptfs-setup-private to create the ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount and ~/.ecryptfs/auto-umount files. We simply need to teach pam_ecryptfs to respect that configuration. :-Dustin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
