Probably, though not right now. I can of course give straces or something, if that helps. >or at least explain how one can get an >environment where the problem can be reproduced? As I already wrote… let me just create a new account for reproducing it… reproducers are, on Debian sid/amd64: $ mc $ cd /sftp://localhost [|] This works. Now F10 (or Esc+0) and… $ touch .ssh/config $ mc $ cd /sftp://localhost [|] ╔═════════════════════════════════════════ Error ═════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 25: sftp: an error occurred while reading ~/.ssh/config: Inappropriate ioctl for device ║ ║ ║ ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔═══════════════ Error ════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Cannot chdir to "/sftp://localhost/"; ║ ║ File exists (17) ║ ║ ║ ╚══════════════════════════════════════╝ Just to be on the safe side, I did: $ rm -rf .config/mc .local/share/mc .cache/mc (I have some mc baseline config in /etc/skel/ normally.) This still exhibits the issue though with single instead of double lines box drawing characters. In the end, I will wish to use mc with a .ssh/config file containing entries such as these: -----cutting here may damage your screen surface----- Host vm HostKeyAlias vm.invalid.mirbsd.org Hostname 127.0.0.1 Port 2222 User tg Host aranymN Hostname 192.168.0.2 User root ForwardAgent yes ControlPath none Host minix Port 2209 Hostname localhost HostKeyAlias minixvm User tg ForwardAgent yes ControlPath /run/.tglase/ctl.%r@minixvm:%p Host hecker-tarentux User root ProxyCommand ssh -Al tglase hecker-nb.lan.tarent.de exec nc 192.168.122.185 22 Host * HashKnownHosts no ControlPath /run/.tglase/ctl.%r@%h:%p -----cutting here may damage your screen surface----- Note these are just examples and parts of my full SSH config, but these are disclosable parts. //mirabilos -- This space for rent.
