cygwin

Hi, I have some trouble setting up Tramp with EmacsW32 and cygwin. I have configured emacs to use cygwin as shell using w32shell. I also set the HOME enviromental variable to c:/cygwin/home/myusername

Problem is that tramp seems to hang and that no connection is made:

"Tramp waiting for prompts for the new shell".

I have tried to turn on debugging, but still only see this message. Looking forward to get some tips on this. Thank you.

emacs tramp performance

Can't use the su method, since I don't really want to veer from the Ubunut default too much. ssh is right out (for localhost? I ask you!). It shows a "Waiting fro prompts from remote shell". And that's it, apparently. Or is it just that incredibly slow? >>> More
