Thank you for the pointer: It seems to me that file-remote-p is not
thoroughly enough for above cases when the file is indeed locally
opened?

No, it is sufficient. People might find access via su(do)? methods
slow as well.
Maybe a customer option `auto-revert-remote-files' would be helpful,
set to nil by default. Then a user can decide whether to revert remote
files, too.
Best regards, Michael.

Hmmm, I realised that with tramp there are temporary files involved,
so yes not in my case but in general it might be slow, I trust your
judgment.

Yes, this would be helpful. Should we start a feature request? How
is this commonly done?

Usually a mail to <emacs-devel@gnu.org>. But the public pretest of
Emacs 22 will start soon, so it might be a bad timing for a feature
request.
Best regards, Michael.

Hi
I wanted to use auto-revert-tail-mode in a buffer which I opened with
tramp because of read restrictions (/su::/var/log/mail I think). But
this modes doesn't work as expected, is this a known bug or
complication?
