From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020625 Description of problem: A PAM module named pam_mount that, when patched, allows PAM to mount an encrypted home directory for a user at login time. When the user logs out, PAM unmounts the encrypted volume. This is a very nice security feature. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Red Hat Linux does not support mounting encrypted home directories at login time. Additional info: Pam_mount is available at http://bazar.conectiva.com.br/~epx/pam_mount/. It is not yet a component of the mainstream PAM distribution. I will attach a patch for pam_mount 0.3.2 which adds encrypted loopback device support. Also required is the crypto patchs mentioned in bug number 56698 (this bug should depend on 56698). Pam_mount includes a good README. I have been using these packages successfuly on my computer for some time. Of course, your mileage may vary.
Created attachment 67305 [details] Patch for pam_mount which adds encrypted loopback device support
Pam_mount now officially supports encrypted volumes. New versions of pam_mount are available at http://www.flyn.org.
There is now a pam_mount package in Fedora Extras that provides this capability.
