??

But noone actually forces you to use efs, right?  I mean, this is the
same behaviour we were having with ange-ftp.  You won't get the
password prompt until you try loading a file like
`/steve@somehost:/somefile'.  Even then, you can press `C-g'.

As for typing passwords in the clear, there are people who aren't that
concerned about security.  But I seem to be a minority there, so I'll
just shut up. :-)
