When I try to edit a file there via emacs + tramp, tramp asks for the password for the key and then hangs. Now, if I C-g after a minute or so, examine *Messages*, I see something like this: Enter passphrase for key '/home/powem/.ssh/id_dsa': .......... tramp: Sending password Enter passphrase for key '/home/powem/.ssh/id_dsa': Enter passphrase for key '/home/powem/.ssh/id_dsa': . Enter passphrase for key '/home/powem/.ssh/id_dsa': .. Enter passphrase for key '/home/powem/.ssh/id_dsa': ........ Any ideas on what might be happening here? I After the initial password request, none of the other material shown appears in the minibuffer. That is all just in the *Messages* buffer. Thanks. mp
