That's always a good start to look for. My guess is, that Tramp might be looking for "localhost" or something like this not contained in .authinfo, if you are connecting via a "/sudo::/path" file name. You might check your settings for `tramp-default-host' or `tramp-default-proxies-alist'. Or you use explicit user name and host name for test purposes, like "/sudo:root@hostname:/path". > Ted Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
