comint-password-prompt-regexp doesn't cope with ssh (patch supplied)

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have. ================================================================ Dear Bug Team! As per the title, comint-password-prompt-regexp doesn't cope with ssh logins. Since ssh is now so widely used, this would seem to be useful. I set the variable to "\\(\\(\\([Oo]ld \\|[Nn]ew \\|^\\)[Pp]assword\\|pass ?phrase\\):\\s *\\'\\)\\|'s password: \\'" and that seems to work nicely. The bit that is ssh-specific is at the end of the line in a separate alternative, so doesn't interfere with the original value of the variable. It might need a little enhancement to cope with all cases, but I've been using it for a couple of months and it seems to work for me. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux emotion 2.4.9 #4 Thu Oct 4 18:45:05 BST 2001 i686 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/home/rrt' XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
