Hi guys,
I am not really an experienced user and haven't actually applied the solution
proposed in comment #12 , but
as I understand the authorized public key is added in .ssh/authorized_keys,
so, wouldn't it be possible to put another public key using a live cd and then
login using the
If you've implementing Dustin's workaround, you may run into a delay
when logging in, and an Xauthority error. This is caused by xauth being
unable to write to your home directory before the encrypted directory is
mounted.
Here is my workaround. Using the ~/.ssh/rc file, the xauth parameters
are
The password you log in with, is used to decrypt/unwrap the key used to
decrypt the ecryptfs.
Would there not be a way of using the ssh secret key, used for login with ssh
to also unlock/unwrap the ecryptfs ?
Probably something that would have to be added to sshd.

Pieter, the private key is never made available in any form to the sshd
server. The server only has access to the public portion of the key in
~/.ssh/authorized_keys. You would probably not want a file on the
filesystem to serve as the secret key for your encrypted directory, as
that defeats the
I don't think the workaround in #12 is practically useful unless you
want to disallow password-based logins. The password is needed anyway to
unlock the ecryptfs key, so imho typing it in once on first login is way
easier than authenticating via public key and then manually unlocking
the encrypted

Title:
Public key ssh auth doesn't work
I had this same problem, but I'm not using encrypted home directories. I
did set my home directories permissions to 770 though. Moving the
authorized keys to /etc/ssh/%u/authorized_keys worked.

Public key ssh auth doesn't work with my Encrypted Home
Hi, Dustin!
The workaround works. Could you please give me a link to good
description of private directory's encryption in Ubuntu, internals and
so on.
Many thanks,

You received
Strange but auto mount of encrypted private directory has stopped to
work. There is only Mount of private directory return code [256]
error in auth.log. But I am able to mount manually the private dir after
ssh login.

Right, sorry, typed the wrong commands.
Here is an exact cut-and-paste. I left out a few details in the last
one, as it was merely pseudo code.
$ /sbin/umount.ecryptfs_private
$ cd $HOME
$ chmod 700 .
$ mkdir -m 700 .ssh
$ chmod 500 .
$ echo $YOUR_REAL_PUBLIC_KEY .ssh/authorized_keys
