I'm trying to use tramp (version "$Id: tramp.el,v 2.95 2002/04/10
17:16:25 kaig Exp $") to connect to a FreeBSD 4.6.2 machine using the
"su" (ssh + uuencode) method. This fails, because tramp can not
execute de/encoding commands -- which is strange, since uuencode in
the PATH on the local and remote machine (/usr/bin). I couldn't figure
out what tramp is trying do here and why it raises this error. Judging
from the Lisp backtrace, it doesn't seem to run uuencode at all:

Unfortunately, the buffer doesn't contain more details:
,----[ *tramp/su [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]

| Process *tramp/su [EMAIL PROTECTED] killed

Here is my setup:
,----[ ~/.xemacs/init.el ]
| (let ((tramp-dir (expand-file-name "~/.xemacs/lisp/tramp")))
| (if (file-accessible-directory-p tramp-dir)
| (progn
| (setq load-path (cons tramp-dir load-path))
| (require 'tramp))))
|
| (setq tramp-verbose 10
| tramp-debug-buffer t
| tramp-default-method "su"
| shell-prompt-pattern "\\(#\\|\]\\) $")
`----
Now I'm really confused! ;-)
