Subject: Tramp su from dired
Date: Sat, 23 May 2009 23:11:56 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrnh1h0ls.3vq.notbob@bb.nothome.com> (raw)
As a novice emacs fan, I'm learning by using emacs primarily as a file mgr
and file editor. I often need to edit a root file as a user and have
usually just opened up a new session of emacs as root, but would like to
utilize the tramp mode. I've been able to edit a root file from via tramp
when not in dired mode, but when using e (edit) or C-x C-f in dired and then
specifying a file -- /su::/dir/foo -- I end up opening a new foo file
instead of the existing foo file I specified.
Is it possible to do su from dired or should I just open up a non-dired
window? If so, how? (told you I was a noob) ;)
