Not that I know of; my understanding is our facility is using stock
ssh2.

This is a very good point. So, you're saying that ssh should _not_ be
prompting for both passphrase and password, correct? I need to confirm
this behavior with our network admins before Kai starts doing
something to tramp that isn't necessary.
Also, what "judicious editing" of ~/.ssh/config do you mean. Sorry,
perhaps I should just read the ssh docs in more detail.
