Could not use Tramp 'smx' method on NT Emacs due to missing 'mimencode' on remote host. Apparently the RedHat 8.0 Linux distribution lacks the metamail package & lacks 'mimencode'. FWIW, the distribution does have '/usr/bin/uuencode' in sharutils-4.2.1-12.rpm. 'smx' seems necessary when using ssh in NT Emacs since 'sm' method returns the following in the *tramp/sm user@255.255.255.255* buffer... Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal. ...'M-x tramp-version' puts this in the *Messages* buffer... $Id: tramp.el,v 1.1.1.1 2002/02/18 14:17:20 user Exp $ I solved my problem by grabbing 'mimencode' from a nearby Linux server; stuffing it into /usr/local/bin and 'chmod 755'ing the permissions. Now it works great again. -- Richard V. Molen Warning!! Signature under construction, safety glasses required.
