Hi Michael

Thank you for the reply. The tramp in Emacs default package for Mac worked
fine in identifying the ~/.ssh/config file. Even gnu FAQ gives examples of
how to modify this file to modify tramp connections (
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/tramp/Frequently-Asked-Questions.html
).

This is the problem that I face due to installing one of the nightly
releases (I had to do this because the default package was crashing
continuously). The main trouble is the double validation (RSA Token id
+passwd) that I need to provide to connect to server files. Tramp does not
prompt me to input the token id and fails after trying to connect with the
server.
