[Bug 181399] Re: Tramp cannot access files via sudo

[Juhamatti Niemelä]

This issue seems to be present in Jaunty version of emacs-snapshot.
Opening new file through C-X f /sudo::/somefile hangs after inputting
password for sudo with message "Tramp: Waiting for prompts from remote
shell".

Tried to apply workaround proposed by Phil Sung with following steps,
but it didn't work:

$ cd /usr/share/emacs/23.0.91/lisp/net
$ sudo gunzip tramp.el.gz
Changed tramp-remote-sh for sudo command to "/bin/bash --norc" and then byte-compiled it with:
$ sudo emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile tramp.el
