Re: efs + tramp + emacs problem.

Michael,

At first I would like to wish you, and all subscribers of this mailing 
list:

  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! :)

Thank you for your answer. The syntax you supplied for Xemacs works 
perfectly :-)

works. One disadvantage - if remote asks for password, xemacs does not ask 
me. But if you
have a key with password - XEmacs asks for password. Since in 90% of hosts 
I have my public
key installed that is no longer a problem.

btw, about failed login it says: 'login failed' into status line, and into 
.* "*tramp/ssh host*"   buffer
I see this:

Password:

same effect when you do it from Find-File, and from dired.  Please notify 
me if you
need some more information from my side. I am actively using emacs/xemacs 
because
I am developing Zope programs (it requires FTP) and doing many unix 
sysadmin tasks (this requires
SSH), so I am sure I can help with testing.

Again, big thanks for a nice tip about xemacs tramp file name syntax. I 
missed this point somehow.
