I recently installed Emacs 24.4 through homebrew through the command
brew install emacs --cocoa
I need to edit the files in a remote cluster with two step authentication. To do this I save the login credentials for the remote cluster through ControlMaster in ~/.ssh/config as
Host *
ForwardAgent yes
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/%r@%h:%p
ServerAliveCountMax=30
ServerAliveInterval=5
However when I try to edit the remote cluster files through tramp as
/ssh:username@remotecluster:~/filename
the emacs hangs with the message Waiting for prompts from remote shell which shows that tramp is NOT recognizing the ssh config information.
I provided the option
(setq tramp-verbose 500)
in ~/.emacs and I got the following message in the tramp debug buffer which gets repeated over & over.
Error Message:

Note: Following the same procedure, I do not face any issue using tramp in emacs 24 in Ubuntu 14.04.
