Hello,
( I apologize for posting an end user question on this list. If this is
inappropriate please let me know. I have tried for quite some time to figure
out this but have been unable to. )
Prior to emacs 23 I was able to use the following to connect to remote hosts
as my user and then sudo to root :
(setq auth-sources '((:source "/home/mike/authinfo" :host t :protocol t)))
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist
'("192.168.1.120" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:[email protected]:"))
(find-file "/sudo:192.168.1.120:")
Prior to emacs 23, my password would be looked up correctly in the authinfo
file, which contains:
machine 192.168.1.120 login mike password mysecret
Since emacs 23 (including the latest 23.3.1), I am prompted to enter a
password to connect to the remote machine. In emacs 22 I can connect without
being prompted.
Password for /ssh:[email protected]
Any thoughts on why this is not reading my password from the authinfo file?
If I try to connect via "/ssh:192.168.1.120" it reads my authinfo password
and connects without prompting me. It is only when using "/sudo" that the I
am prompted. According to
http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Multi_002dhopsit seems like this
should work. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
--Mike
