Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the local and remote machines are.
If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen reliably, please include those. Thank you for helping kill bugs in TRAMP. Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug. Then, include the contents of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug report. --bug report follows this line-- I use tramp-2.0.45 (the one bundled with CVS Emacs). I can open files on remote machines with the ssh method. But when I make C-x C-f /su::/some/file I am prompted for a password. I type my root password, but when I press return Emacs hangs and does nothing. The minibuffer still displays "password: ..........#" where # is the prompt. The only thing I can do is C-g. The content of my *debug tramp/su * buffer is: ,---- | # Opening connection for `<root>' using `su'... | # Waiting for prompts from remote shell | # Waiting 60s for prompt from remote shell | # Sending password `---- The content of my *tramp/su * buffer is: ,---- | [00m `---- Emacs : GNU Emacs 21.3.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.4.9) of 2004-10-14 on inspiron Package: tramp (2.0.45) current state: ============== (setq tramp-ls-command nil tramp-test-groks-nt nil tramp-file-exists-command nil tramp-current-multi-method nil tramp-current-method nil tramp-current-user nil tramp-current-host nil tramp-auto-save-directory nil tramp-default-method "ssh" tramp-rsh-end-of-line "\n" tramp-default-password-end-of-line "\n" tramp-remote-path '("/bin" "/usr/bin" "/usr/sbin" "/usr/local/bin" "/usr/ccs/bin" "/local/bin" "/local/freeware/bin" "/local/gnu/bin" "/usr/freeware/bin" "/usr/pkg/bin" "/usr/contrib/bin") tramp-login-prompt-regexp ".*ogin: *" tramp-password-prompt-regexp "^.*\\([pP]assword\\|passphrase.*\\): ? *" tramp-wrong-passwd-regexp "^.*\\(Connection \\(?:\\(?:clo\\|refu\\)sed\\)\\|Host key verification failed\\.\\|Login \\(?:[Ii]ncorrect\\)\\|Name or service not known\\|\\(?:Permission denied\\|Sorry, try again\\)\\.\\).*\\|^.*\\(Received signal [0-9]+\\).*" tramp-yesno-prompt-regexp "\\(Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)\\?\\)\\s-*" tramp-yn-prompt-regexp "\\(Store key in cache\\?
