net/tramp

[Rommel Martinez]

I did what you said (BTW, you can't do M-x customize RET
tramp-debug-buffer RET because when you press the first RET, customize
would load the top-level options. It would be M-x customize-variable
RET tramp-debug-buffer RET).

BTW, the *tramp/su root at localhost*  buffer contained:

18:06:57 tramp-maybe-open-connection (3) # Opening connection for
root at localhost using su...
18:06:57 tramp-maybe-open-connection (3) # Waiting 60s for local shell
to come up...
18:07:57 tramp-wait-for-regexp (1) # [[Regexp `\(^[^#$%>
]*[#$%>] *\|^[^#$%>
]*[#$%>] *\(\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z] *\)*\)\'' not found in 60 secs]]
18:07:57 tramp-file-name-handler (1) # Couldn't find local shell prompt /bin/sh
