I suggest using $ sudoedit with the (EDITOR or) VISUAL environment variable set to "emacsclient" (or to "emacsclient -a=" or "emacsclient -a= -t", or "emacs" if you really prefer a new emacs session to be started.). (And, going back to the subject, I also use emacs over ssh regularly together with emacsclient, and don't have an internet connection good enough to create X frames over ssh.) -- Nico.
