Hello,

Happy (mostly) tramp user here that is also very new to it. As someone
working with remote machines that I do not own or control, TRAMPs inability
to handle fancy prompts is highly crippling. It's stated in the FAQ that "
tramp needs a clean recognizable prompt on the remote host for accurate
parsing". What I don't understand is why tramp can't set PS1 when logging
in the typical way one does:


ssh ... -t 'PS1='$'; bash -i'

When I modify tramp-maybe-open-connection to do this it works just fine;
I'm able to login to a remote that would hang with the message:

Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell...fail

I figure there is a good reason this can't be done, but wanted to raise the
issue just in case.


Regards,

John C.
