[SOLVED] adding pam_ecryptfs breaks any login

Hi. I am new Arch user, moving from Gentoo.
I followed guide from wiki to setup encrypted home with ecryptfs.
I use ubuntu tools method. I did
ecryptfs-migrate-home -u user
added all lines to /etc/pam.d/system-auth (from wiki)
and now no any login works with password incorrect error.

journalctl shows
agetty[2582]: failed to open credentials directory

how to get automounting working? please help

Solved. No need to add password line in system-auth. just auth and session
