How much CPU/Memory do you have on the slow systems? In a rather minimal virtual machine (fraction of a processor, 256MB memory), the login process can take up to 2 seconds. I'd say maybe 2 seconds might be expected. 4 or 5 seconds seems rather long on normal hardware...
A few nitty gritty details on what's going on with eCryptfs... It has to perform several rather CPU/Memory intensive operations upon login, such as decrypting your wrapped-passphrase file, calculating the fekek (file encryption key encryption key) which involves hashing a value some 65,000 times, and calculating the signatures. These procedures are rather cpu-intensive, I'm afraid. On a very slow CPU, I suppose this might take a couple of seconds? :-Dustin -- pam_encryptfs.so causes authentication to be slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
