I use M-x shell and invoke plink from there. This is on Windows NT. After typing plink host.domain at the shell prompt, I am sent to the minibuffer, where problems are already apparent. The dots echoing my keyboard entry appear on a second line in the minibuffer, then after a couple of keystrokes, they collapse to a single line. After the host times out my attempts, it seems I am still prompted for a password until I escape. At that point, fragments of my password show up in the shell buffer. I can document this behaviour more carefully if this is not enough. This also affects pscp. > > I have seen buffering problems that prevent the password prompt from > coming up when plink is invoked indirectly, via some other program > such as cvs. This may also affect some shells. > > Personally I use public keys and pageant to avoid the problem. This is not an option for me because my intention is to distribute Emacs to be run from a DVD, see http://potis.org/software/livedvd . Thus, the base functionality has to be self-contained and tailored to the working environment I am setting up, not to any particular user.
