Two questions regarding this:

1. How do you manage multiple login?
2. Can this be extended to loop-device encrypted home directories? We
need something along the lines of:

losetup -e cipher /dev/loopx /crypt/file
e2fsck /dev/loopx
mount /dev/loopx /home/user
...
umount /home/user
losetup -d /dev/loopx

You can reply in private, if you like.
