But then something else happens, I continue to get more password prompts for "#!user." If I enter the correct password for "user," I get a failed attempt to log in. If I just hit enter, I get a failed attempt to log in. Inexplicably, if I try one more time, Tramp complies. It's the same way with dired/tramp. Any ideas? Should tramp be asking for the password more than once in the same ftp session? Why would it add "#!" to the user-name? -- Edward Dodge /OSX 10.1.5/ /GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.5) of 2002-10-11 on G3/
