Thanks to everybody for the detailled and helpful information. I'm
going to quit doing regular work as root, thats for sure. I like both
ideas, using tramp or having a second emacs window (with different
colours) used only for admin work - I have to give it a try.
So I really do need only one user instead of my two different users
that complicate my life tremendously.
I'm still a bit confused about the admin rights:
- is it common and secure to surf the web as a non-root standard user
WITH system administration rights?
- are giving a user admin rights and giving him sudo-rights two
different, independent concepts? I now have two users with admin
rights, but /etc/sudoers has only one uncommented line: "root
ALL=(ALL) ALL" and /etc/sudoers.d/ is empty.
- did I get it right that the option to use tramp sudo/su is available
to standard user WITHOUT system administration rights too?
When I get this user stuff straight I would only need to find a (easy)
way how to connect to alice dsl from an xterm session, then I wouldn't
need no gnome desktop anymore, just xterm and emacs. But thats
probably another topic. (using gnome it's just one click on the
network-manager-applet and I'm connected. I wish there would be just
one command in an xterm window to achieve the same).
