But it makes me feel REALLY REALLY uneasy. *shudder* I tried the above, and yes, it works. I tried appending any 2 chars to the end, and this worked. We are not talking about Tramp, yet. I figure that I have to get plink (ssh) working in M-x shell, before we can talk about Tramp. Now that I can get plink working under M-x shell, I tried adding garbage to the end of my password in Tramp, but that did not work. Unfortunately, this is not a good indicator, as Plink only works for me via protocol 1, and I'll have to fool with Tramp settings for this. I understand your unease. The other solution is to pass in passwords, using Plink's -pw command line option.
