I am running Rocky Linux 9.1, with a LUKS encrypted `/home` directory. During boot, I am prompeted for my LUKS key to mount the encrypted logical volume (LV) as `/home` and then prompted to login as my user. I am looking for a way to bypass the prompt at boot and have the LUKS LV mounted when I login (assuming my login and LUKS passwords are the same). I have found tutorials for how to do this on Arch Linux and Fedora ([https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/x3yf3q/autodecrypt\_home\_drive\_during\_userlogin/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/x3yf3q/autodecrypt_home_drive_during_userlogin/)), I have found this page ([PAM authentication modules - Documentation](https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/security/pam/#pam_mount)) but it doesn’t describe how to do what I want, and so far as I can tell, there is no `pam_mount` package in `dnf` (I have EPEL enabled). Does anyone know of an “official” Rocky Linux tutorial on how to do this or can provide instructions? ---
