Another option is to use "sudoedit" (or "sudo -e") instead of "sudo
emacsclient". "sudoedit" uses root access to copy the target file to a
temporary location for the current user. Then it starts editing the file
with user's default text editor and finally moves the temporary file to
the original location. This way the editor doesn't run as the root user.
