I recently installed the latest Ubuntu 12.04 64bit alpha (2?) onto a VMware virtual machine in order to check things out.
One strange thing I've encountered is that I can only successfully ssh into the machine if I am logged into the console. If I log out from the console, I get a permission denied.
This is pretty baffling so I'm hoping someone else has seen this.
The following is the output.

1So basically my answer was correct and encryption was the problem. – jhenninger – 2012-03-03T03:43:49.063
How is this in any way better than providing the password to log in in the first place? imho this "fix" makes it much more cumbersome unless you want to disallow ssh access by password completely. There is no way to get around keying in your password to unlock the ecryptfs key anyway. It's not a big problem for me in practice since I normally have a tmux session running anyway. – kynan – 2012-08-11T11:00:57.343
