When I do: (setq tramp-login-prompt-regexp "[Ll]ogin\\( as\\)?: *") my "login as:" prompt gets recognised and tramp proceeds trying to login using my user-login-name... cool :) Except there is, apparently, a bug which causes tramp to strip last letter from user name (i.e. if my user-login-name is "slawek", tramp tries to login using "slawe"). Setting user-login-name to "slawekX" seems to work for me at the moment ;) I don't have any more time to hunt this bug right now, but I will try to figure it out later. Thanks for your ideas. -- Best wishes, Slawomir Nowaczyk ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
