Yes, indeed. Well, the most recent version of Tramp has a variable tramp-default-method-alist which allows you to configure some things. By default, root is the default user for the `su' method, for example, so /[su/localhost] should be enough. Oh, on XEmacs the default value is nil. Sorry. Then the host name may be empty, so that /[su/root@] might work. But don't count on it... And then, you can always do (setenv "X" "/[root@localhost]") and type C-x C-f $X/etc/passwd RET... I get many requests for people who want abbreviations for long filenames, and I'm sure they have good reasons. But I'm having difficulty to understand where environment variables are lacking, so I'm reluctant to spend too much time on it. (Not that I've spent any time on Tramp recently anyway... But maybe soon. We will be in a network with a lot of laptops and no NFS...) kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis) _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
