And I'd recommend that you just use TrueCrypt instead:
http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.truecrypt.org/downloads
I will go explore it. In the meantime does it offer a solution where it automount your home
dir and decrypt at login while encrypt and unmount at logout ?
Thanks for the suggestion

I've had eCryptfs screw up two systems so far (so bad that I had to
reinstall) & don't trust it as far as I can spit. On the other-hand,
I've multiple truecrypt folders that were easily transfered across
systems/installs w/o *any* issues at all. Messed up an install on my
laptop (9.04 to 9.10), realized that I'd messed up the install, copied
the truecrypt folder(s) across to the laptop from a backup system,
installed TrueCrypt on the laptop, mounted, provided the proper
passwords, done.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
