tramp failing in new build

tramp failing in new build

[Gilbert Harman]

Using today's CVS build in Mac OS 10.2.5, in emacs version 23.5.50.1, I get
the following error message using tramp in a way that was working until
today (using a build from a couple of months ago):

Tramp/nil harman@arizona.princeton.edu buffer
Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied, please try again.
Permission denied (publickey).

Message Buffer:
...
Loading tramp...done
tramp: Opening connection for harman@arizona.princeton.edu using nil...
tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell
tramp: Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell
tramp-process-actions: Login failed
...

While this was going on emacs froze up on me without prompting for a
password and without allowing me to type a password in.

I have no trouble connecting by using tramp in emacs version 21.1.1 from a
terminal window.

More data: I can get tramp to work if I specify telnet:

/telnet:harman@arizona....<etc>

It does not work with ssh

/ssh:harman@arizona...

It gets confused with

/ftp:harman@arizona...

Do you still have the old build around?  Did the value of
process-connection-type change?

Does Tramp start to work again if you frob the variable?

Did Tramp ever ask you to enter a password?

It would be useful to set tramp-debug-buffer to t (I think that's
the default), and tramp-verbose to 10 (that might not be the
default), and then to show me the *debug tramp/foo* buffer and also
the *tramp/foo* buffer.

Thanks.

What do you mean by `confused'?

More data: tramp works fine for me using the CVS version from April 1.

Did you try what Kai suggested?  If so what are the results when you
did?  Specifically:

This is very likely the problem because from lisp/ChangeLog:

2003-04-14  Andrew Choi  <akochoi@shaw.ca>

	* term/mac-win.el: Unconditionally set process-connection-type to nil.

Re: tramp failing in new build

[Gilbert Harman]

Thanks, I somehow missed Kai's suggestion.  Setting process-connection-type
to t corrects the problem (as of today's CVS build).
