if we had a command "trampclient"? If I was editing in some shell with root priviledges, it would be nice if I could just call
trampclient filename.c as an editor, and the _current_ shell would connect to an Emacs server and would be used in an existing non-priviledged Emacs session for doing the editing in question. That way, I need not tell Emacs my password again and be afraid that it makes it into core dumps or other ugly stuff (I had Emacs once display a just typed password in the context of a keyboard sequence prompt for a question immediately following in a shell script run within Emacs -- nasty). And if I have some ssh session running to a different computer, having the possibility of passing a local file there to a local Emacs session (in case I can arrange for a connection back) would be nice. Likely the corresponding tramp server should not allow the equivalent of the emacsclient -eval option in order to make this reasonably unproblematic. And maybe trampclient should have some way of passing credentials, like by using an SSL socket or something. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
