Not really. Tramp needs to know several things of the remote host during establishing the connection. In order to improve startup behaviour, this information is kept in "~/.emacs.d/tramp". Next connection to the host, Tramp reuses the information. > Anyway I went and updated my CVS and rebuilt, reinstalled the patches, > and then tried again after cleaning up all connections and it worked. > Seems like whatever was happening was at some point resolved, but I > know those patches were instrumental in this. In your case, some items in that file were corrupt, due to the "-a" argument of "ls". `tramp-cleanup-all-connections' clears that cache and closes all open connections. So the information was gathered again, and it is fine now. You might read about it in the Tramp info via (info "(tramp)Connection caching") > Thanks, Best regards, Michael.
