I have never gotten TRAMP to work. I just use sshfs, which is much easier to use. ("sshfs user@host:~ my_home_at_host") I will also point out that eshell and ansi-term are much better shells for use inside emacs. I used ansi-term for a long time, but gradually weaned myself off bash and into eshell. Now I can write "shell commands" as (loop) invocations. :)

I've had problems using TRAMP with OpenBSD. SSH works and I think FTP does too, but for some reason, TRAMP just hangs. It does seem to connect but then it hangs. Does TRAMP expect a certain type of shell prompt?

  ;; For tramp with my bash config, the prompt of which terminates
  ;; in a newline. Tell tramp how to detect the end of my prompt.
