I updated my Gnus from CVS this morning (2003-12-15). When I tried to
start Gnus it began, during the startup, asking my password for ftp
site ".god Domain Names". When I tried to find what's going on, I
found out that there was an old nnslashdot-group ".god Domain Names:
and something".
It seems that if the name of an nnslashdot group contains (in a perl
syntax) a string "\w+:\s+\w+", Gnus eventually lauches ange-ftp which
tries to connect to a site the name of which is the name of the group
up to the colon.
Unfotunately, I didn't save the backtrace.

Weird. Emacs 21 uses the much more intelligent Tramp multi-host
thing, so perhaps it's insinuated something into one of the file
insertion functions that didn't it didn't use to...
But without a backtrace it's difficult to say.

Currently, Tramp uses the same regexes as Ange-FTP used to, I think.

Indeed. Please provide a backtrace, Matti.

Hey! While I have you here, a Tramp problem: :-)
If I say `C-x f /user@host.somewhere:' it insists on using ssh instead
of ftp.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
accept-process-output(#<process *tramp/ssh host.somewhere*> 1)
tramp-wait-for-output()
tramp-handle-expand-file-name("/user@host.somewhere:" nil)
How do I get it to not do that? I mean, without actually reading the
manual?

You ask me ;-)
You can either tell Tramp to always use ftp for filenames where the
method is not specified. See the variable tramp-default-method. For
example, (setq tramp-default-method "ftp").
Or you can tell Tramp to use ftp for certain user/host combinations.
See the variable tramp-default-method-alist. For example,
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-method-alist '("u1" "h1" "ftp")) -- this
means that when the user name matches the regexp u1 and the host name
matches the regexp h1, then use ftp. (Use "" for the regexp if you
need one that always matches.)
Does this help?

Thanks; that does the trick.
