Interested in encrypted (home) directories?

You could have a «master password» which is the one used to encrypt
the device and then you have a number of different «slots» where the
master password is encrypted using a user password.  As long as the
number of users is less than the number of slots, you should be fine
and libpam-mount ought to work.

This is basically the approach I was taking in magicmount, but I
haven't had the time to actually code on that lately.
