 Posted: Sat Jun 15, 2024 1:45 pm Post subject: emacs: TRAMP /su:: doesn't ask root password [fixed] |
 |
|
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.

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