As user:
Code:
emacs /etc/portage/make.conf
C-x C-v (find alternate file)
adding /su:: at the beginning of the absolute path
RET
File is now modifiable and can be saved.

No root password requested!!!

What am I missing?
Maybe some forgotten emacs setting in init.el?

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Adding su:localhost: instead asks for password.

Still, how to force /su:: to ask for password?
EDIT: this is worrying still, as it shouldn't be possible, imho?

See if you have ~/.authinfo* file. if you do may be the answer is in there.

@pingtoo

My googling just hit that too:
Code:
cat ./.authinfo
machine amd64 login root port su password mypassword


init.el needs to be changed accordingly.

Thanks 4 ut attention, interest & support.

Code:
(connection-local-set-profile-variables 'remote-without-auth-sources '((auth-sources . nil)))
(connection-local-set-profiles '(:application tramp) 'remote-without-auth-sources)


I wish it would rather work the other way round, asking to explicity save password for reuse.

Thanks 4 ut attention, interest & support.
