tramp (2.0.38); New login not used for different user on same mashine

[Adrian Phillips]

Enter your bug report in this message, including as much detail as you
possibly can about the problem, what you did to cause it and what the
local and remote machines are.

If you can give a simple set of instructions to make this bug happen
reliably, please include those.  Thank you for helping kill bugs in
TRAMP.

Another useful thing to do is to put (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) in
the ~/.emacs file and to repeat the bug.  Then, include the contents
of the *tramp/foo* buffer and the *debug tramp/foo* buffer in your bug
report.

--bug report follows this line--

Firstly, a thank you to the developers of tramp.

I have several users on one particular server. Accessing the server as
one user, e.g. user1, logs in correctly, logging in as another user,
e.g. user2, uses the same login session as user1. This means that
opening one of user2's files opens it as user1 with all the access
problems this incurs. An example session :-

^C-x ^C-f /address@hidden:~/
[lists user1's home directory]
^C-x ^C-f /address@hidden:~/
[lists user1's home directory again !!]
^C-x ^C-f /address@hidden:~user2/new_file
[opens a buffer but gives a "File not found and directory write protected"]

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
