Which package do you use for the "ssh command"? "M-x ssh" does not exist in vanilla Emacs 23. > Why does it ask for the password for the first system? Then it asks for > the password for the second one. I've downloaded ssh.el from <http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/ssh.el> and yes, the behaviour is as described by you. The reason is that ssh.el uses internally comint for starting the ssh process. comint knows the possibility of Tramp to start processes on the remote host. When you start an ssh session via ssh.el, first you get a (hidden) remote shell to the remote host by Tramp, because the default directory of your current buffer is a remote one. This is the first password request. Then, ssh is started on the remote host - this is the second password request. ssh.el shall be changed such a way, that the ssh session is started always locally. > Thanks > tom Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
