Why must I reenter my password for pam_mount?

[Entropizr]

Hi @all,

I have set up an encrypted home directory with dm-crypt/luks which I want to mount when I login. So the passphrase is the same as the user password.

I have added the two lines to /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/gdm:
auth optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass
...
session optional pam_mount.so use_first_pass

But now I have to reenter my password for pam_mount when I login and only want to enter the password once.

I would appreciate tips and help!

Ok, I figured it out myself.
The configs must look like this:

auth optional pam_mount.so
...
auth include system-auth use_first_pass
...
session optional pam_mount.so

"man pam_console" ?!

1. Could you be more specific what help you want?
2. This question has nothing to do with my thread and you should open a own thread for your questions next time.

So long
