Thanks, I'm now running 23.0.93.1

Does Tramp have its own mailing list anywhere?

It certainly does seem to work much better in the newer version of 
emacs, but one observation and one question:

- with (setq insert-default-directory nil) in my .emacs file, tab 
completion in the minibuffer to a tramp destination screws up quite 
frequently.

- how do I sudo to another user on the remote system? I need to do this 
to edit a lot of the files I'd want to fiddle with...

cheers,

Chris
