Now it does not work. I suppose I added some new packages (w3 and gnuserv) and tweaked my .emacs but I cannot figure out what. Here are the symptoms: C-x C-f begins to find a file I clear the minibuffer line and type '/' and a completions list window pops up, showing me all of the files and directories in my / directory and all of the hosts in my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. I can complete the machine name, as '/machine.uaf.edu:' and when I hit again, I get a [no match] command. If I complete the file name by typing it, as '/machine.uaf.edu:.emacs', I get a message that says: 'File not found and directory write-protected' It is trying to create a file in my root directory. So tramp finds my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file ok but then the connection is not happening. Thank you for any help. Ryan
