I see. So the encrypted directory is on the server but running encfs and picking the mount point all happen on the client.
How did you manage to get automount to work with encfs? I have tried to add the following line to my /etc/auto.master /mnt/rick/Private -fstype=fuse,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 program:/home/rick/bin/mountremoteprivate And my mountremoteprivate script just contained: #!/bin/bash echo "mypassphrase" | encfs -S /mnt/rick/.Private /mnt/rick/Private but that didn't work.
