Hi,
I am using tramp to ssh to a cluster which uses a bastion (I think this
is the name for this thing!). Usually, to connect to the cluster, I do
ssh user@cluster
I asks for a password, and presents a curses menu to select the type of
node (after a timeout it will select a default option). After that, it
asks again for the password and connects to a node of the cluster. In
the case of scp, there is no curses menu, but I still have to enter the
password twice.
I can use tramp without problem, since the timeout will select the
default node, which is OK for me.
However, I have to enter the password twice, which is inconvenient.
Also, from time to time, it will ask for the password again (and twice
every time).
I thought that using the .authinfo file I would not need to enter the
password, but it still asks for it (but only once).
Is there a way to avoid manually entering the password in this kind of
situation?
I hope my description above is not too vague and someone can help me.
Thank you.
G.
