I assume you must if you are encrypting your home directory, since there would need to have some way to insert the key to unlock your home directory as part of single-sign on. Or are you only encrypting something like the Private directory on your home directory, and entering the password separately fromo the login password. One of the really nice things of the ecryptfs integration, especialy on Ubuntu (and I don't remember if Tyler was responsible for that work; if so, kudos!) wasthat it was particularly eeamless. - Ted
