Another solution I found is to export SUDO_EDITOR variable set to
emacsclient and then use `sudo -e` to edit a file. While this works
with regard to emacsclient, it does prevent emacs to load my .emacs
configuration file.

% export SUDO_EDITOR="emacsclient -t -a ''"
% sudo -e /etc/fstab

I would like to be able to use my customizations, any idea?

Thanks,
Luca
