Last modified: 2017-07-05 15:11:17 UTC
openSuSE Leap 42.3 Build 300 Encrypted overlay image is not mounted at ssh login Thus ssh is unable to forward X traffic for users with encrypted home directory or access user files. Root cause: ----------- Encrypted overlay image is not mounted at ssh login Errors observed: ---------------- > ssh -X tomask@localhost Password: Last login: Tue Jul 4 20:06:28 2017 from ::1 Have a lot of fun... /usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/tomask/.Xauthority > exit logout Connection to localhost closed. harry@gurkin:~> ssh -Y tomask@localhost Password: Last login: Tue Jul 4 20:07:23 2017 from ::1 Have a lot of fun... /usr/bin/xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/tomask/.Xauthority > ls -l /home/tomask/.Xauthority ls: cannot access '/home/tomask/.Xauthority': No such file or directory When logging in from TTY2 (Alt+Ctrl+F2): ---------------------------------------- > ls -l /home/tomask/.Xauthority -rw------- 1 tomask users 113 Jul 4 20:06 /home/tomask/.Xauthority How to reproduce: ----------------- 1. Create user with encrypted home directory using: yast2 users 2. run: ssh -X user@localhost ssh -Y user@localhost 3. see that the encrypted overlay image is not mounted by: mount | grep home If the crypto image is mounted (as when using tty login) you should see message like this: > mount | grep home /dev/mapper/_dev_loop0 on /home/tomask type ext3 (rw,relatime,data=ordered,helper=crypt)
Looks like same underlying issue as bug 954419. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 954419 ***
