My tramp/nil buffer says: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com's password: Process *tramp/nil xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.com* killed and my Messages buffer says this: Loading tramp... Loading regexp-opt...done Loading tramp...done tramp: Opening connection for buysanfr@buysanfranciscotours.com using nil... tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote shell tramp: Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell tramp-action-password: Out of band method `nil' not applicable for remote shell asking for a password ...having not found anything helpful with Google, I thought I should ask here. It looks to me as though password authentication is no longer supported? I have to admit that my interpreting-emacs-messages-fu is quite limited. So is there something I need to set up or configure before I can use Tramp? I'm stuck using icky *other* text editors until I can figure this one out. Thanks, Steve
