Bug Description
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils
I am using fstab and smbfs to mount my nas-box on startup since 2-3 years on ubuntu. You have to provide an extra mount-option for a credentials file for user and password.
//IP-Address/
Since I am using the encrypted home directory on jaunty the automount on startup doesn't work anymore. If I put my credential file on another place (e.g: /opt) the automount works fine.

Hello, thanks for the bug report.
Unfortunately, this is not something that we're able to fix.
Information that you choose to store in your encrypted home directory is not available until you enter a password and login. This means that it's not available at startup time, before you've entered your password.
Sorry!
