I've made some progress, but still can't access the password in the
~/.netrc file. More specifically, in emacs I do

        C-x C-f
        /user@anon:

and get:
    
    Password for /ssh:user@anon:

even though in ~/.netrc I have the stanza:

    machine user@anon
        login user 
        password <password>

It seems the ~.netrc file not being read.
