Greetings. After recent discussions with Kai, I have learned that
tramp's ssh support does not work with sites that prompt for both a
passphrase _and_ password (as ours does). I would like to see tramp
handle this situation as the utility tramp brings to those of us
telecommuting here is valuable. So, Kai suggested we move the
discussion to the tramp list.

Perhaps, without looking deeply at the tramp code, this behavior would
be best implemented as a user-configurable feature. It might be a bit
awkward, however, when accessing multiple sites that have different
security characteristics. Don't know yet.

At this point I don't have a solution. Rather, this message is
intended to open discussion and obtain a consensus. Comments are
welcome.

Regards,
