Comment 1 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-05-28 01:12:53 UTC 
What kind of authentication?
Comment 2 Neil Watson 2005-05-28 04:52:18 UTC 
Password or key pair.
Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-05-28 04:58:32 UTC 
Hrm. Does it work if you use console vim rather than gvim?
Comment 4 Neil Watson 2005-05-28 05:10:01 UTC 
No difference except that password authentication is broken when using gvim.
Comment 5 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-08-05 13:32:41 UTC 
I'm afraid I can't reproduce this.
