There's a package for it in Woody, or you can download from http://ls6-www.informatik.uni-dortmund.de/~grossjoh/emacs/tramp.html For what you want, open a file like in the form /[sum/root@localhost]/path/to/file (or suu instead of sum, or sudm if you want to use sudo instead of su). It also allows you to edit files over an ssh/rsh/telnet link. You get all the stuff you normally get in emacs, like tab completion. It even works with eshell. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
