Unfortunately the provided scripts from the blog only work with emacs 24. And the described setup is too insecure to be used with untrusted remote systems. [1] http://blog.habnab.it/blog/2013/06/25/emacsclient-and-tramp/ Are there more people experimenting in this direction? I thought it would help a lot if emacs server could handle different tcp authentication tokens with different levels of privileges. Thus a remote system with an unprivileged token could just cause the visiting of a file and nothing more. Each token could be associated with additional information about how tramp can open files on the remote system: IP adress, user name, password, proxy, ... Unfortunately I've not yet learned elisp, so I could not yet hack myself on this. Best regards, Thomas Koch
