Encrypted home directory

The pam_mount package has been included in Fedora for quite some  
time. This module can provide an encrypted home directory that is  
mounted at login time with the user's account password.

See http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6481 (note that his article  
is old, but much of its content is still relevant).

I have found that the big problem is unmounting, as processes are  
left behind when a user logs out that block unmounting $HOME. For  
some examples of this, see:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134667
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134668

What is probably needed is integration into the Fedora install  
process or a utility that make configuring pam_mount easier.
