I will try it. It breaks Tramp's philosophy not to comment on errors
reported by the system. There are so many different reasons a connection
could cause trouble, that in general the original messages are better
than Tramp trying to explain. And it is not always recommended to
cleanup a connection.

I see your point. Likely, I'm not a Tramp newbie ...
