Thanks for the report, comint-password-prompt-regexp has been changed upstream after a Gutsy user reported this. The fix will be in Emacs 22.2, here is how you can set comint-password-prompt-regexp: (setq comint-password-prompt-regexp "\\(\\([Oo]ld \\|[Nn]ew \\|'s \\|login \\|\ Kerberos \\|CVS \\|UNIX \\| SMB \\|LDAP \\|\\[sudo] \\|^\\)\ \[Pp]assword\\( (again)\\)?\\|\ pass phrase\\|\\(Enter \\|Repeat \\|Bad \\)?[Pp]assphrase\\)\ \\(?:, try again\\)?\\(?: for [^:]+\\)?:\\s *\\'") Regards, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
