(Resending, as the first mail does not seem to be on the list) I installed a machine with KDE, configured pam_kwallet (to open KDE's password safe automatically when logging in) and it worked. Then I moved /home onto an encrypted partition and configured pam_mount to automatically decrypt/mount /home when logging in and it worked mostly. The remaining part is that /home should be unmounted when logging off, which does not work currently (but that's not the reason of this mail). Unfortunately, if the now encrypted /home partition is not mounted when logging in, the wallet does not get opened. When logging off and logging in again (remember: /home is still mounted after logging off), the wallet gets opened. So both pam modules work separately, only if they have to work both, pam_kwallet fails. I read the Linux-PAM System Administrators' Guide, but I am lacking an idea how to debug this problem. Has anyone an idea what I should do to find the root of the problem? My wild guess would be that either pam_kwallet needs access to its home directory, which it gets too late if pam_mount has to mount the file system, or that pam_mount has to succeed (or fail?) so that pam_kwallet works. I already activated debugging in pam_mount (setting "<debug enable="1" />" in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml (why XML?)), but I do not know how to enable debugging in pam_kwallet.

First, the successful login contains the lines "mount [...] failed" two times. Second, the time stamps contain a 5 second delay in the successful login (probably due to the failed mount - the mounting has to fail, as it is already mounted). That's where I did not have further ideas. So if anyone has input, that would be highly welcome.
