Description of problem:
Until recently, I had an F7 system with my home directory on a LUKS partition. At boot time, I supplied the LUKS password, the partition was associated with a /dev/mapper device and mounted as /home/user, and I could log in as user. Yesterday, I blew away the F7 partition and installed F8, and now I can no longer log in as user. Whether logging in graphically or on the console, F8 complains that /home/user can't be found, and logs me in with / as my home directory.

The odd thing is, once logged in, bash can see my real home directory just fine. Doing cd ~ (logged in as user) or cd ~user (logged in as root) puts me in /home/user, where all my files are. The system successfully opens the LUKS partition and mounts it exactly where ~user should be, but login fails to see it. Here are the relevant portions of some files:

crypttab:
home_crypt /dev/sda5 none

fstab:
/dev/mapper/home_crypt  /home/user             ext3    noatime         1 2

ls -l /home:
drwx------ 45 user user 4096 2007-11-09 13:59 user

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create LUKS-encrypted partition, populate with user's files.
2. Mount partition on /home/user.
3. Log in as user.

Actual Results:
Console complains:
No directory /home/user!
Logging in with home directory  = "/"!

But cd ~ will change directory to /home/user, and user's .bashrc aliases will work.

Graphical login gives a similar message, offering to log in with home directory = / or cancel. Attempting to log in fails, booting the user back to the login manager.

Expected Results:
User should be logged in with home directory as expected.
