How about if I want to run "M-x svn-status RET DIRECTORY RET" as either me or as root on a remote machine? Note that the remote machine is configured to not accept ssh connections as root--you have to log in as another user first. I tried "M-x svn-status RET /ssh:host:~wohler RET" and that produced a view of my home directory on localhost. Also, I read in the manual (for tramp version 2.1.11) about tramp-default-proxies-alist so that one can edit files as root on a remote host, but that variable does not appear to be available in tramp 2.0.55 (in Emacs 22). Thanks again. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD
