Hey Phil,
you might wanna have a look at cryptfsAuthConfig. It's a new feature in
Fedora 15 (released today hurray :-) ) and allows you to decrypt and
mount /home by entering your user password. Haven't looked in it yet and
and I don't know how well it is working.

Here do you find further instructions
