Unfortunately, this doesn't help.
I have copied the defun cited above into the scratch buffer, and done as
you told me. After that, I don't get a password prompt when trying to
connect. Instead, I get the old message I used to mistake for a query for
user interaction ("tramp: Looking for pattern Are you sure you want to
continue connecting (yes/no)\?", and then "Login failed" after a time.
Unless I am mistaken, the problem is unlikely to be due to the OS emacs
runs upon, but should rather have to do with the connection method
pretended by our server(s). If you think that may help you to solve the
problem, I am willing to share with you my current password on one of the
servers. That way, you could test out the problem by trying to access a
file that I'd place there for test purposes.
Please let me know if you think that may be helpful.
Best, and many thanks for your help with Tramp,
Rainer
