I have my own connection that includes the Files and SSH Terminals subsystem. When I connect at the system level, I get 2 prompts - one for the Files subsystem and another for the SSH Terminals subsystem. I should only get one prompt.
The problem is that we're not propagating the password across to other connector services within the same connection.

Kevin, could you review this patch? Thanks.
Note this isn't an ssh terminals issue - it's more generally related to multiple connector services under a single host.
We don't necessarily want to blindly propagate or use the authorization information. There are some services, such as FTP, that might use different credentials even though they are at the same host address.

That's a fair point although I believe we do reuse the credentials for all connector services within a connection when the user elects to save them. I'd probably create a separate connection for cases where I use different credentials.
Adding Dave D to the reviewers since he's got concerns here.
In response to Dave Dykstal's comment - In a majority of cases, I would imagine that the user has a single user ID and password to a single system. I do not think RSE's behaviour should support the minority scenario by default.
As long as we have a mechanism (in this case alternate connections) for saving credentials then I seen no problem with sharing these credentials among all connector services.
I'm okay with this as well.
Thanks for the reviews. I've committed the change to cvs.
