Subject: Editing Files Like /etc/hosts

Message-ID: <87bqwebzyq.fsf@annamalai.mct.com> (raw)
Hi All,
Suppose I am currently logged in as a normal user, and am using emacs
for editing some files. And while in the middle of such an emacs
session, I would like to change the file /etc/hosts. How can I open
this file such that I can edit it?
If I do something like this
C-x C-f /root@localhost:/etc/hosts RET
I am getting login incorrect, because I think by default we cannot
login as 'root' in a ftp session.
Environment: 'GNU Emacs 21.3.2' on 'Slackware 10.0.0'.
Rgds,
anna
