Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I cannot test on Solaris myself. Before applying "ls -al -w", Tramp checks whether there is an error with these arguments. So I would like to see what happens there. Could you, pls, start "emacs -Q --eval '(setq tramp-verbose 6)'" and open the remote connection? Play a little bit, opening other directories. When it fails, pls send the complete debug buffer (as attachment). > Simon Best regards, Michael.
