Robert: does this mean that bug 753707 was introduced? It seems that
autologin now does not work when .ecryptfs is present in the $HOME
directory of the user to be autologged in.
If I can add my two cents, that seems to be a bit unfortunate, because
now gdm does not ask me for password anyway (it

Title:
gdmsetup: Don't offer autologin for ecryptfs users

Hmm, I tried to do this properly but GDM has beaten me.
So then I tried to make it look for the auto-mount file in the home directory
and start the login process but still prompt the user but GDM wasn't having any
of that either.
I've got it now checking for the file, and just ignoring the

OK, I think the solution has to be:
1. /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin has to force a password request if the user is
using an encrypted home directory
2. GDM has to detect this, and launch the greeter if this occurs (normal case
is to run without launching the greeter)

This is actually non-trivial as gdmsetup is run as an unprivileged user
and so wont necessarily be able to check ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount.
Ah, ok. I thought that gdmsetup would talk to the gdm-binary D-BUS
service (which runs as root), but if it's not
The installer does the right thing these days, and in comment 4 I spoke
about gdm as in the login manager. But indeed you can still select
ecryptfs users in gdmsetup for autologin; this should be fixed indeed.
Robert, as gdmsetup is your's, do you have a couple of minutes to check
for this and
This is actually non-trivial as gdmsetup is run as an unprivileged user
and so wont necessarily be able to check ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount. Would
it be OK for GDM to instead check for this and just select the logged in
user (i.e. prompt for a password) instead of logging in automatically?
