#29794: emacs-app @23.3_0 Problem using tramp in emacs.app: "ControlPath too long" -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: gorzarg@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: emacs-app -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- OS: 10.6.7 Xcode: Version 3.2.6 (1761) Using tramp in emacs.app results in the error "ControlPath too long" after typing in the remote machine's password. For example, in emacs: 1) "C-x C-f" to find a file 2) Type "/user@remotemachine:somefile.txt" 3) Asks for password, (type the correct one in). 4) Results in this error: user@remotemachine's password: ControlPath too long Process *tramp/scpc remotemachine* exited abnormally with code 255 In the *Messages* buffer, it says the tramp is doing the command: Tramp: Sending command `exec ssh -o ControlPath=/var/folders/...a_really_long_dir_name.../-Tmp-/tramp.442LsW.%r@%h:%p -o ControlMaster=yes -e none remotemachine' So I think the ControlPath is just too long for ssh. Note: I don't think this is a problem with tramp itself, because I compared the tramp files in /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/net/ with the ones on a linux machine where tramp works, and they're pretty much the same. Any suggestions or fixes? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29794> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
