I've been thinking about default login names. Right now, deep down in the bowels of rcp.el, every file name with a missing login name is rewritten to put in the local user name instead. I was thinking of allowing nil as user name everywhere, with the semantics that the user name is then not passed to the commands at all. Ie, rather than saying `rsh HOST -l USER', I just say `rsh HOST'. But this breaks with `telnet'. Hm. Maybe there, the best thing to do is to pass the local user name. And what do we do in the multi-hop method? There, passing the local user name to telnet would be kinda strange. Hm. Do you think I should require a user name with telnet in the multi-hop method? kai -- The birch trees fly way too low these days.
