[Gslug-general] ssh into luks encrypted home

Good evening gentlepeople,
I have ssh keys working well between my boxes, and pam_mount nicely
decrypts my luks encrypted home dirs, *with a password*.  But, I'd like
to ssh *using a key* into my box, which would then cause pam_mount to
decrypt my home dir.  But this doesn't work and I don't even know if
there is a good way to do this, because pam_mount can't get to my .ssh
folder to verify the key until it decrypts the home dir.  Does anyone
have a solution?  Thanks! -Eric
