Comment 31 for bug 277578

I just done a server with NFS(w/o Kerberos)+NIS on basis of the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 with server and desktop installations. eCryptfs seems to work, as i can log into an eCryptfs protected home directory on the graphical login screen (lightdm needs some config changes though).

At first i thought it would be just able with an extra bind mount like:
mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 SERVER:/home /home.nfs
mount -o bind /home.nfs /home

But it's also working with a direct mount of NFSv4 on /home, i only missed to install "ecryptfs-utils" on the second desktop i was testing on, as i seems to not be installed when you don't vote for encrypting the users home folder.

Now i need some rough test cases, as i just did login with a fresh account and that may not be the corner cases. Does somebody have any clues on?

@Johny: as i just looked at your setup it seems, you did something like a mixed thing between NFSv3 and NFSv4. That's you can export the folder is really strange as eCryptfs should be transparent to NFS, it's only that seems to have problems on top of NFS. For your setup have a look on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto

@Tyler: It's been a while since your last comment, so do you mind to give us some update on your point of view?
