login fails

[Myron Selby]

I'm using tramp 2.1 with xemacs 21.4 on an intel linux
system. I am using ksh on the remote host. Just to make
sure that nothing in my .profile was causing the problem
I removed it (temporarily) and I have no .shrc file.

I enter the following after ctrl xf:

/address@hidden/tmp/lic.log

It asks for my password and then I get the line about

Looking for regexp "\(TERM = (.*)\|Terminal type\? \[.*\]\)\s-*" from 
remote shell

After a while it comes back with

Login Failed

The debug output is:

# Looking for regexp "^.*\(Connection \(?:closed\|refused\)\|Host key 
verification failed\.\|Login \(?:Incorrect\|incorrect\)\|Name or service 
not known\|Permission denied\.\|Sorry, try again\.\).*\|^.*\(Received 
signal [0-9]+\).*" from remote shell
# Looking for regexp "\(Are you sure you want to continue connecting 
(yes/no)\?\)\s-*" from remote shell
# Looking for regexp "\(Store key in cache\? (y/n)\)\s-*" from remote shell
# Looking for regexp "\(TERM = (.*)\|Terminal type\? \[.*\]\)\s-*" from 
remote shell
# Looking for regexp "^.*\([pP]assword\|passphrase.*\):

I've tried everything I can think of. Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks,
Myron
