I don't want any warning message, because the .netrc is ok, it's only
efs, which isn't able to understand the tokens - a variable to
enable/disable such warning messages would be nice.

Are you sure? The cd's, bin's and so on in my .netrc crashes efs. I
can't open any file on any remote host with these lines and that even
on hosts with no entry in my .netrc.

I think it would be nice to have something like an alist, so that the
user is able to define what to do with an unknown token. In ange-ftp
I've missed always the feature to execute .netrc lines like the
following:
	quote site group xemacs
	quote site gpass zawinski
Therefore the only things which I've done with ftp in a UNIX shell for
a long time was to exchange files with ftp.xemacs.org :-( - all other
things I've done with the realy good help of ange-ftp :-)

Regards,

Heiko
