I suggest having a feature where the user can specify to always use encryption for certain host names. So if you specify a host name which is on that list (of names, or perhaps regexps?), tramp would modify the request so as to do the encryption. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
