Possible to automount encfs?

[fbn]

Hi,

I'm using Dropbox and encfs to have an encrypted folder in my Dropbox space.

Unfortunately I have to open a terminal and enter 'encfs ~/Dropbox/Encrypted ~/DropboxEncrypted' every time I login.

Is there a way to automount a custom encfs directory like it's done with the ~/Private directory on Ubuntu? Or even better, is it possible to automount the encfs directory if the user opens the directory?

Thanks,
Frank

Wow, you're doing exactly what I just finished writing a blog post about! Here's the post: Encrypting Your Dropbox Seamlessly and Automatically (http://pragmattica.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/encrypting-your-dropbox-seamlessly-and-automatically/).

I used the instructions in the following post to auto-mount an EncFS folder which has a password different from the one I use to login (which made pam-mount and pam-encfs fail in my case): Dropbox, EncFS and mounting pain (http://obensonne.bitbucket.org/blog/20100130-encfs-keyring.html).
