the su-command function looks neat. The request to extend it
to let you edit files as root is not necessary, however. You can
use ange-ftp to your localhost as root to do this. This is what I
do.
Alternatively, you could hack on emacsclient to pass the
real and effective uids as well as the filename to edit, and
then emacsserver could realize the effective uid is not the
same as the real uid, and (transparently) use ange-ftp as the
effective uid to get and edit the file.
Use ange-ftp to his localhost... its far simpler.
