I have encrypted my home disk a long time ago and I configured pam to mount it automatically on login.

However after update to version 1.1.5-3 pam is not mounting the disk anymore. Here are the logs :

PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/security/pam_ecryptfs.so
pam_unix(login:session): session closed for user ben
PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_ecryptfs.so): /usr/lib/security/pam_ecryptfs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Seems like the pam-ecryptfs library has been removed.

How can I fix this?

In ecryptfs-utils 96-1 the file pam_ecryptfs.so is installed in /lib/security (click) which was changed in ecryptfs-utils 96-2 to /usr/lib/security (click). You might just need to update your system.

  • My system is up to date, I'm using ArchLinux. pam-ecryptfs is still located in /lib/security and if I copy it /usr/lib/secrity it works.
