With release 3.2, I had a form like
(fs:add-user-information "host" "login-name" "password")
in my login-init file for each host. So I would never be prompted
for a password when dealing with other machines.

This function does not exist in Release 4.1. I tried
(fs:store-password-etc "login-name" "host" "password"). But I still
get a prompt for a password when accessing another machine.
 Is there anything in 4.1 that I can do, to input the password information,
so that I do not get prompted (like when trying to view-file on a remote m/c)?

After some hacking, I found the solution. Since a couple of people
expressed interest, I am posting the solution on the net.

add the following two forms in your login-init file for each remote host.
(fs:store-password-etc "user-name" "host-name" "password")
(fs:file-host-user-id "user-name" "host-name")
You will then never be prompted for the password.
