Subject: 24.0.50; sudo doesn't work in eshell
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2011 07:04:07 +0200

Running an eshell, using sudo doesn't work:

~/conf/emacs.d $ sudo touch /foo
Recursive load: "/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/net/tramp-sh.elc",
"/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/net/tramp-sh.elc",
"/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/net/tramp-sh.elc",
"/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/net/tramp-sh.elc",
"/usr/share/emacs/24.0.50/lisp/net/tramp-sh.elc

No password is asked for, and /foo isn't created.

Emacs was run with -q --debug-init, and no error message is printed in
*Messages*.

I can reproduce it locally. I'll check next days, what's up.

Best regards, Michael.

I've fixed that in the trunk.

Thanks for reporting, and best regards, Michael.
