Bug Description

1. Boot up to oneiric
2. Log in
3. Log out
4. Log in
5. Get a terminal, then...

~/Private$ ls
THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA -- Run mount.ecryptfs_private to mount again
~/Private$ cd ..
~$ mount.ecryptfs_private
keyctl_search: Required key not available
Perhaps try the interactive 'ecryptfs-mount-private'
~$ ecryptfs-mount-private
Enter your login passphrase:
Inserted auth tok with sig [7972913b8e43d166] into the user session keyring

Now I have access again. Not sure why I should be required to run two obscure command-line tools to regain access to something that I normally get on login.

Is there a fix for this? I am having same issue, home directory only appears after connecting to SSH session. Close SSH session SMB share for Home goes away.
