hm, i misread the source reading quickly and saw an "su" method which I
thought sounded like a cool feature, use "su" as if it were rsh/ssh. It's
basically the same idea after all, you get a remote shell over which you pass
files inline using uudecode or mimencode.
Of course it turns out to be something else entirely, so now i'm sending this
as a suggestion. It would allow editing files on the same machine as a
different user. This works already if you ssh to root@localhost:... but of
course you may not have ssh configured for root, or installed at all for that
matter.
Anyways, I may look at this myself eventually, it would require eventually
solving the password-prompting problem, but that doesn't seem like that big of
a challenge really.
