[Bug 460476] Re: ecryptfs: disabling auto-mount diables gdm login

[Dustin Kirkland]

Right so disabling automount is perhaps useful on a tty or ssh, where a
shell can tolerate a read-only, empty home directory (albeit with
degraded functionality).

Gnome, however, really, really dislikes an empty, readonly home
directory.

I'll add a task, and change the title of the bug accordingly, and leave
it to a Gnome developer to tell us if it's possible for Gnome to allow a
user to login with an empty and readonly home directory (perhaps
pointing Gnome to some stock template).

** Package changed: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) => meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- ecryptfs: disabling auto-mount diables gdm login
+ gnome dislikes a readonly, empty home directory
