Based on experience with new commodity traders, we've found about 80% of them have a history with stock options. Most of these traders, when pressed, express a vague desire to diversify as one of their chief reasons for taking the next step to commodities. However, it's intriguing that few have a firm grasp of the real advantages that commodity options can offer — especially if they are accustomed to the constraints that stock option selling can place on an investor.
Don't misunderstand: Selling equity options can be a lucrative strategy in the right hands. However, if you are one of the tens of thousands of investors who sell equity options to enhance your stock portfolio performance, you may be surprised to discover the horsepower you can get by harnessing this same strategy in commodities.
In an era when sudden and excessive volatility is common, diversification is more important than ever. But the advantages don't end there.
Selling benefits
Selling (also known as writing) options can offer benefits to investors in both equities and commodities. However, there are substantial differences between writing stock options and writing options on futures. What it generally boils down to is leverage. Futures options offer more leverage and, therefore, can deliver greater potential rewards (in addition to greater risk).
In selling equity options, you do not have to guess short-term market direction to profit. The same remains true in futures, with a few key differences:
- Lower margin requirement (that is, a higher return on investment). This is a key factor that attracts many stock option traders to futures. Margins posted to hold short stock options can be 10 to 20 times the premium collected for the option. With the futures industry's margin calculation system, however, options can be sold with out-of-pocket margin requirements for as little as one to one-and-a-half times premium collected. For instance, you might sell an option for $600 and post a margin of only $700 (total margin requirement minus premium collected). This can translate into substantially higher return on your working capital.
- Attractive premiums can be collected for deep out-of-the-money strikes. Unlike equities — where to collect any worthwhile premium, options must be sold one to three strike prices out of the money — futures options often can be sold at strike prices far out of the money. At such distant levels, short-term market moves typically will not have a big impact on your option's value; therefore, time value erosion may be allowed to work less impeded by short-term volatility.
- Liquidity. Many equity option traders complain of poor liquidity hampering efforts to enter or exit positions. While some futures contracts have higher open interest than others, most of the major contracts, such as financials, sugar, grains, gold, natural gas and crude oil, have substantial volume and open interest, offering several thousand open contracts per strike price.
- Diversification. In the current state of financial markets, many investors are seeking precious diversification away from equities. By expanding into commodity options, you not only gain an investment that is not correlated to equities, option positions also can be uncorrelated to each other. In stocks, most individual stocks, and their options, will move at the mercy of the index as a whole. If Microsoft is falling, chances are your Exxon and Coca Cola holdings are falling as well. In commodities, the price of natural gas has little to do with the price of wheat or silver. This can be a major benefit in diluting risk.
- Fundamental bias. When selling a stock option, the price of that stock is dependent on many factors, not the least of which are corporate earnings, comments by the CEO or board members, legal actions, regulatory decisions or broader market direction. Soybeans, however, can't cook their books, and copper can't be declared too big to fail.
The supply/demand picture of commodities is analytically cleaner. Knowing the fundamentals of a commodity, such as crop sizes and demand cycles, can be of great value when selling commodity options. In commodities, it is most often old-fashioned supply and demand fundamentals that ultimately dictate price, not the actions of a badly behaving CEO. Knowing these fundamentals can give you an advantage in deciding what options to sell.
Crude example
A trade example can demonstrate the mechanics of selling commodity options. This example will assume that the seller is neutral to bullish crude oil prices. Note particularly the distance of the strike from the underlying trading price as well as the margin vs. premium collected (see "High flyer," below). Then compare these to their counterparts in selling a put in Exxon or Chevron.
May crude oil: Selling a put option
Date: February 2, 2012
Scenario: An investor is neutral to bullish on crude oil prices and wishes to collect premium above the market.
Trade: Sell June crude oil $68 put option
Premium collected: $500
Margin requirement: $1,100
Expiration date: May 17, 2012
Risk: The risk to the put seller is that crude prices move substantially lower. If the option goes in-the-money, it could be worth more at expiration than what it sold for. At that point, the seller would have to buy it back at a loss. The trader also could choose to buy it back at any time prior to expiration, even if it was not in-the-money. This can be an excellent risk management strategy.
Summary: If May crude oil futures are anywhere above $68 per barrel at option expiration, the option expires worthless and the investor keeps the full premium collected as profit. Notice that the put can be sold at a level 32% out of the money. (Crude oil prices would have to fall by 32% prior to option expiration to move in-the-money.) The option also could be bought back at any time prior to expiration at a varying level of profit or loss. Bearish oil traders could use the same strategy by selling call options far above the market. Note the margin requirement vs. premium collected is a 45% return on capital if the option expires worthless.
Stock option sellers cannot hope to learn all of the details of commodity options in one article. However, this strategy stands as a true alternative investment that is highly uncorrelated to any equities portfolio, offers high premiums for sellers, lower margins and potentially greater rewards.

Why Forza 5 will only have a mere 200 cars compared to Forza 4′s 500
Turn 10 has fired a shot across Polyphony Digital's bows in their decision not to carry Xbox 360 level cars over to the Xbox One, referencing the large proportion of Gran Turismo 5 and 6′s "non-premium" cars, which began life as PlayStation 2 models. Additionally, many of Forza 4′s tracks won't be making the jump to Forza 5 because they were either inaccurate or in a few cases, the tracks themselves have changed.

Based:Cumbria, UK
Team Principal:Malcolm Wilson
Current Car:Ford Fiesta RS WRC
Manufacturers' Titles:none
Driver:Evgeny Novikov, Mads Ostberg
Manufacturer WRC Wins:none
Originally run under the Stobart VK M-Sport World Rally Team banner, but now titled the Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team, the outfit has a relationship with Ford going back decades.
The current incarnation of the team can be traced back to the Stobart-sponsored team of 2006, when 44 points in the manufacturers' title chase that year thanks to the efforts of drivers Luis Perez Companc, Kosti Katajamaki, Jari-Matti Latvala, Pieter Tsjoen and Matthew Wilson, Malcolm's son, who was competing under a five-year development plan.
Wilson Jr and Latvala were both handed full programmes in 2007 and were joined by new recruit Henning Solberg who, along with Latvala, was often charged with chasing manufacturers' points for the squad. Solberg bagged the team's first podium three events in on home soil in Norway, while Latvala was a podium finisher on the penultimate round in Ireland having led in Italy, Finland and Japan, where Wilson scored a career-best fourth.
The team eventually finished fourth in the final table after dropping behind Subaru on the Rally GB finale.
With Latvala promoted to the main Ford line-up for 2008, Italian Gigi Galli signed on a season-long deal to join Solberg and Wilson, who remained key players in the team. Galli was a podium finisher in Sweden but struggled to repeat that early high. Following a spate of retirements he headed to Rallye Deutschland anxious to claim a strong finish only to crash heavily and break his left leg. Although the popular Galli would make a full recovery, the smash effectively ended his WRC career after he ran into sponsorship difficulties.
There was some reason for cheer in Germany, however: Belgian asphalt ace Francois Duval, undertaking a limited programme of events with the team, finished third.
Duval's efforts resulted in his promotion to the main Ford team for the Tarmac rounds in Spain and Corsica in a direct swap with the underperforming Latvala, who used his return to his former team to regain his confidence following a troubled run.
The team completed the year by handing MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi a drive in a Stobart-backed Focus on Wales Rally GB.
Solberg and Wilson were team mainstays again in 2009, but the chance to drive a near-factory spec Ford Focus World Rally Car also attracted leading privateer drivers like Urmo Aava (Ireland and Norway) and Krzysztof Holowczyc (Poland).
A handful of star names competed under the M-Sport Stobart banner in 2010, including Marcus Gronholm and Juha Kankkunen. But it was Solberg and Wilson who were once again responsible for claiming the bulk of the team's manufacturers' championship points. Duval also appeared for Stobart in 2010 but suffered a huge crash on Rallye Deutschland, which left navigator Denis Giraudet with broken ribs. PG Andersson was seventh on a one-off drive in Bulgaria, while Ken Block was a nominated M-Sport Stobart driver on a handful of events and took his first points in Spain.
New signing Mads Ostberg was the team's star performer in 2011 with podiums in Sweden - where he led - and Great Britain. Solberg and Wilson scored points on a regular basis and helped the team to third in the final manufacturers' standings.
In 2012, the team once again finished in a strong third place with 170 points (compared to 178 points in 2011). In 2013, all the cards are being thrown up into the air. With no Ford works team, M-Sport can devote all its attention to this team, but there is also the presence of the new VW team to factor into the equation. Whether the Qatar M-Sport World Rally Team can step up to take the place of the works Ford team is one of the big questions for this season.

"What is prima facie evidence of a fact? It is such as, in judgment of law, is sufficient to establish the fact; and, if not rebutted, remains sufficient for the purpose."
Prima facie
Latin for "at first sight." Prima facie may be used as an adjective meaning "sufficient to establish a fact or raise a presumption unless disproved or rebutted;" e.g., prima facie evidence. It may also be used as an adverb meaning "on first appearance but subject to further evidence or information;" e.g., the agreement is prima facie valid.
A prima facie case is the establishment of a legally required rebuttable presumption. It is generally understood as a flexible evidentiary standard that measures the effect of evidence as meeting, or tending to meet, the proponent's burden of proof on a given issue. In that sense, a prima facie case is a cause of action or defense that is sufficiently established by a party's evidence to justify a verdict in his or her favor, provided such evidence is not rebutted by the other party.
See, e.g., Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 554 (2007); Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506 (2002); Hernandez v. New York, 500 US 352 (1991).

Paul Reubens's followup to the box-office hit Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is just as outrageous and cartoonish, though not as good. This time, child-man Pee-Wee runs a colorful farm, chock full of talking animals and outsized produce. On the morning after a tornado of Wizard of Oz dimensions, Pee-Wee awakens to discover that a travelling circus has been deposited in his back yard. Befriended by circus owner Kris Kristofferson, Pee-Wee takes an acrobatic job, hoping to impress lovely trapeze artist Valeria Golino--thereby incurring the jealous rage of his hometown sweetie Penelope Ann Miller. When the circus is faced with bankruptcy, Pee-Wee comes up with a brilliant idea: why not stage a three-ring spectacular celebrating the wonders of agriculture? A partial takeoff of such earlier sawdust-trail flicks as Martin and Lewis' Three Ring Circus and Disney's Toby Tyler, Big Top Pee-Wee is generally entertaining, but goes off in too many directions at once, leaving a lot of loose plot ends and underdeveloped characters. Also, Pee-Wee's overactive libido (at least in this film!) is not all that suitable for his younger fans. Even so, there are plenty of hilarious set-pieces. Big Top Pee-Wee was produced and cowritten by Paul Reubens. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Emeril [TV Series]
Master chef Emeril Lagasse, the garrulous star of one of cable TV's most popular cooking shows, played "himself" in this eponymously titled NBC sitcom. The story lines revolved around the behind-the-scenes intrigues attending Emeril's weekly TV series and his clashes with his virtually all-female production staff: producer Cassandra Gilman (Lisa Ann Walter), stage manager Melva LeBlanc (Sherri Shepard), and fussy food stylist B.D. Benson (Carrie Preston). Further yocks were generated by Emeril's domestic travails with his agent, Jerry McKenney (Robert Urich), and his funky teenaged son, James (James Laffety), who worked as an intern on the TV show. Lagasse's trademarked catch phrase "Bam!" was not unexpectedly hauled out at the slightest provocation, usually when the writing failed to come up to the usual standards of executive producers Harry Thomason and Linda Bloodworth-Thomason. Its scheduled September 18, 2001, debut date was postponed by news coverage of the World Trade Center tragedy, and Emeril finally emerged from the oven on September 25, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One More Time
Rat-pack pals Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford reprise their roles of Charlie Salt and Chris Pepper, respectively, in this film that marks the directorial debut of comedian/writer Jerry Lewis. Lawford also plays Lord Sydney Pepper, the twin brother of Charlie who is a murder victim. Salt and Pepper investigate the crime in this uneven comedy feature. Pepper takes the place of his dead brother and winds up involved in a diamond-smuggling operation. The duo is chased through the bucolic English countryside by Interpol agents and crooks after the stolen gems. Like many sequels, it fails to be as amusing as the original, which wasn't that great in the first place. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

Pee-Wee's Playhouse [TV Series]
Pee-wee Herman, the effervescent man-child created by actor Paul Reubens during his years with the Groundlings comedy troupe, was the star of the delightfully "retro" CBS kiddie show Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Each week (beginning Saturday, September 13, 1986), the titular hero whisked the viewers to puppetland, a magical world filled with anthropomorphic furniture, talking animals, and some of the zaniest human characters this side of the Milky Way. Joining Pee-Wee in his surrealistic adventures were Lynne Stewart as Miss Yvonne, "the most beautiful lady in Puppetland"; John Paragon as Jambi, a disembodied genie head who grants Pee-Wee one wish per week; Gilbert Lewis and later William Marshall as the King of Cartoons, who showed vintage animation clips on his own portable projector; Shirley Stoler and Suzanne Kent as Pee-Wee's neighbors Mrs. Steve and Mrs. Rene; and Gregory Harrison as Conky, a frequently malfunctioning robot. Prominent amongst the very animated inanimate objects in Pee-Wee's oddly shaped (but warmly inviting) playhouse were Chairry the Chair, Globey the Globe, a bunch of talking flowers, the all-purpose Magic Screen, and even a chatty floor named Floory. And there was a veritable honor roll of puppet and marionettes characters, ranging from Countess the Cow to red-headed troublemaker Randy. Oh, and let's not forget such peripheral personalities as the Dinosaur Family, the Ant Farm, and Penny (all depicted via stop-motion animation), and, during season five, a Spanish-speaking cartoon superhero named El Hombre. In addition to the above-mentioned "regulars," Pee-Wee's Playhouse featured a number of stellar performers on their way up. Laurence Fishburne was seen as rope-twirlin', knee-slappin' Cowboy Curtis, Phil Hartman showed up as crusty Captain Carl, Law & Order's S. Epatha Merkerson popped in as Reba the Mail Lady (replacing Johann Carlo, who during the series' first season was cast as trumpet-blowing mail carrier Dixie), and future leading lady Natasha Lyonne was Opal, one of the many children who congregated at the Playhouse each week. And speaking of children, the kids at home were invited to join in on the fun by "screaming real loud" whenever anyone spoke the Secret Word of the Day. The bulk of the series' 45 half-hour episodes -- which featured everything from indoor luaus to sleepovers to space travel -- were filmed during the first three seasons, with seasons four and five yielding only a handful of new installments. Contrary to popular belief, Pee-Wee's Playhouse was not canceled by CBS in the summer of 1991 due to adverse publicity involving Paul Reubens' private life; rather, Reubens himself had already made the decision to pull the plug on the show at the end of season five. The recipient of no fewer than 22 Emmy nominations, Pee-Wee's Playhouse has also been voted one of the Top 25 Cult Shows by TV Guide -- and like most cult shows, it entertained on two levels, as nonstop fun for the kiddies and sly satire for adults. To quote Jambi the Genie, "Mekka-lekka-hi, mekka-hiney-ho!" ~ Rovi

Pee-Wee's Playhouse: Season 01
The 13 first-season episodes of Pee-wee's Playhouse have become such beloved classics that it hardly seems necessary to offer an overview, but here goes anyway: In "Ice Cream Soup," the series opener, Pee-Wee (Paul Reubens) introduces us to his friends Miss Yvonne (Lynne Stewart), Cowboy Curtis (yes, that's Laurence Fishburne), Jambi the Genie (John Paragon), Captain Carl (Phil Hartman), and the King of Cartoons (Gilbert Lewis), among many others. He also treats us to the first Secret Word, "door" (and remember to SCREAM REAL LOUD!). "Luau for Two" finds Pee-Wee throwing a luau in the Playhouse, tiki torches and all. Our hero breaks out the paper airplanes and whipped cream when he is cooped up indoors on a "Rainy Day" -- and also makes a prank phone call, much to his everlasting regret. In "Just Another Day," Cowboy Curtis teaches Pee-Wee how to square-dance. "Now You See Me, Now You Don't" is highlighted by Pee-Wee's magic show, which ends up rendering him invisible. Miss Yvonne treats grouchy neighbor Mrs. Steve (Shirley Stoler) to a "Beauty Makeover" in the episode of the same name. "The Restaurant" is what Pee-Wee calls his own kitchen when Captain Carl shows up for a peanut-butter sandwich. Everyone has "Ants in Your Pants" when the denizens of Pee-Wee's animated ant farm make good their escape. A one-eyed "Monster in the Playhouse" soon finds Pee-Wee surrounded by a whole bunch of new friends. A nervous Cowboy Curtis stages a dress rehearsal of his date with Miss Yvonne in "Cowboy and the Countess." Rascally Randy suffers mightily when he consumes the "Stolen Apples" from Mrs. Steve's backyard. Pee-Wee is rescued from a mousehole by his kiddie pals (including at least one overgrown "ringer") in "The Gang's All Here." And it's nonstop fun for everyone, including the usually reserved Reba the Mail Lady (S. Epatha Merkerson) in the aptly titled "Party." It was during this maiden season of Pee-Wee's Playhouse that the series won the first of its many Emmy awards, one for Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction and Outstanding Achievement in Videotape Editing. ~ Rovi

Pee-Wee's Playhouse: Season 02
The big news for season two of Pee-Wee's Playhouse is the selfsame Playhouse's "new look"--which extends to redesigning several puppet characters, notably Globey. Though Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens), Miss Yvonne (Lynne Stewart), Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne), and many other regulars are still in attendance, there are also several new faces including Suzanne Kent as neighbor lady Mrs. Rene and William Marshall as the King of Cartoons, replacing the previous season's Gilbert Lewis. The season's ten half-hour episodes include "Open House," in which Pee-wee supervises the Playhouse's makeover; "Puppy in the Playhouse," wherein our hero tries to adopt a doggy that already belongs to one of his best friends, Reba the Mail Lady (S. Epatha Merkerson); "Store," wherein Miss Yvonne goes shopping at Pee-Wee's imaginary convenience shop; "Pee-Wee Catches a Cold," an object lesson in how anything can be cured with a good dose of chicken soup; "Why Wasn't I Invited," in which a misunderstanding almost causes Pee-Wee to miss the Countess' big party; "Tons of Fun," highlighted by a lip-synched performance "That Certain Feeling" (original artist: Bob Hope); "School," which brings Christopher Columbus briefly back to the land of the living; "Spring," a study in disconsolation as Pee-Wee fails to make the baseball team; "Playhouse in Outer Space," which proves that even a secret word like "Zyzzybalubah" can crop up in casual conversation; and "Pajama Party," which delivers just what the title promises (and it's co-ed, too!) For its second season, Pee-Wee's Playhouse earned still another Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing in a Children's Series. ~ Rovi

Pee-Wee's Playhouse: Season 03
Season three of Pee-Wee's Playhouse finds the irrepressible Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) and the whole Playhouse gang (human and otherwise) back for even more hilarious adventures -- though not as many adventures as in previous seasons, inasmuch as only a handful new episodes were produced. In "I Remember Curtis," Pee-Wee reminisces about his old pal Cowboy Curtis (yes, that's a young Laurence Fishburne) with the help of clips from previous episodes. Future Law & Order co-star S. Epatha Merkerson is prominently featured as Reba the Mail Lady in "Reba Eats, Pterri Runs." Jimmy Smits guest stars as a muscular computer repairman in "Conky's Breakdown." In "To Tell the Tooth," Pee-wee must practice what he preaches after admonishing his friends not to be scared by the dentist. A frantic search is conducted for several of Pee-Wee's favorite playthings in "Mystery." A popular singing trio is spotlighted in "Dr. Pee-Wee and the Del Rubios" "Front Page Pee-Wee" finds our hero transforming the playhouse into a newspaper office. And rascally Randy accidentally causes a"Fire in the Playhouse," though Fireman Frank (Stephen Parry) prevents things from getting out of hand. ~ Rovi

This drama follows an unlikely "ratboy" (S.L. Baird) after he is discovered living in a makeshift shelter in a garbage dump. Along comes Nikki Morrison (Sondra Locke, also the director) who meets the half-rodent, half-human creature and takes him over. She talks to a Hollywood producer and holds forth about him on a television talk show but when she brings ratboy to a press conference, he bolts for freedom -- enough is enough. The garbage dump was better. From that point onward, Nikki begins to change her mind about her treatment of the misbegotten creature and he develops an ambivalent feeling for her. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Tracey Ullman in The Trailer Tales
Unlike her earlier comedy series and specials, in which she "took on" dozens of vivid and distinct characterizations, Tracey Ullman focuses herein on only three of her famous alter egos. First and foremost is faded glamour gal Ruby Romaine, veteran Hollywood cosmetician and shameless dispenser of libelous gossip. In her efforts to gain re-entry into Local 706 of the Hair and Makeup Guild, the heavily wrinkled Ruby crosses paths with two other Ullman creations, Russian émigré Svetlana and actress Pepper Kane, a black woman trying to pass as white (not surprisingly, both ladies are prime targets for Ruby's unending stream of ethnic slurs). Somehow or other, Ruby's return to her days of glory also brings her in contact with such real-life popular culture icons as Debbie Reynolds, Barbara Bain, Cheech Marin, Rose Marie, Jane Kaczmarek, and former Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In producer George Schlatter. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A federal grand jury in Williamsport has indicted real estate broker and investment consultant Andrew Brosnac for his part in a $16 million sale and leaseback fraud that had connections in York County, according to the FBI's Philadelphia office.
Brosnac, 47, of Keller, Texas, allegedly provided investors and lenders with false and fraudulent financial information concerning investment properties, which induced the loans and investments worth $16 million between 2006 and 2008, according to the FBI.
The other co-conspirator in the case was Samuel Pearson, 47, of Hanover, York County, according to the FBI. Pearson was charged separately with conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud in March 2011 and plead guilty in April, according to the FBI. Pearson is awaiting sentencing.
The scheme included the use of companies under the names "Commercial Concepts," "Realty Concepts," "BF Oil," "Peanut Oil," "Viper Gas," "Sierra Oil Management" and "NYACOR," allegedly controlled by Brosnac and Pearson, according to the FBI. The companies were based in Hanover or Dalton, Pa., California and Nevada, and used accounts at banks in Scranton and Hanover, the FBI said.

Write your own review- Love it! by Donna on 1/3/13
Rating I love this bible - it has so many options for me day to day. I often feel like I don't know where to start my day in the Word... So, I just turn to a colored page with a "God-picked" topic and can get a 5-minute 'kibble', or dive deep for an in-depth 'hearty meal'. It covers all kinds of topics us busy moms need help with. I recommend it for every mom out there. God Bless You!

TRAMP (Transparent Remote Access, Multiple Protocols) is a package for editing remote files, similar to AngeFtp or efs. Whereas the others use FTP to connect to the remote host and to transfer the files, TRAMP uses a remote shell connection (rlogin, telnet, ssh). It can transfer the files using rcp or a similar program, or it can encode the file contents (using uuencode or base64) and transfer them right through the shell connection.
Tramp was formerly called RCP or rcp.el.
It allows you transparent access to files on remote access. "Transparent" means that usually the user doesn't have to worry about anything. All that changes is the filename convention to indicate that the file resides on a remote system.
If Tramp still isn't fast enough for you (or if you don't use linux), try http://linux.com/feature/54498
TrampMode is a part of Emacs starting with version 22.1.
You can get it from here:
Tramp Documentation:
(require 'tramp) (setq tramp-default-method "ssh")
For GNU Emacs
C-x C-f /remotehost:filename RET (or /method:user@remotehost:filename)
For XEmacs use the syntax
C-x C-f /[method/user@remotehost]/filename
You can also edit local files as root with either of the following (note the double colon, which is required)
C-x C-f /su::/etc/hosts C-x C-f /sudo::/etc/hosts
<fsbot> [5] emacs syntax: /<user>@<host>:/path/to/file or /<protocol>:<user>@<host>:/path/to/file, <fsbot> [6] xemacs syntax: /[<protocol>/<user>@<host>]/path/to/file or /<user>@<host>]/path/to/file, <fsbot> [7] /su::/etc/hosts to edit /etc/hosts as root, <fsbot> [8] note double : when using su to be root
If you do something like this
C-x C-f /sudo::/etc/sysconfig/iptables
with a default install of Tramp (well the one bundled with Emacs23) and have SELinux enabled then Tramp will overwrite the SELinux context with "user_u:object_r:tmp_t" from whatever it was. In the case of iptables having a system context it will prevent your firewall from restarting!
This is likely to be due to intermediate tmp files (guessing here) with the Tramp/sudo interaction. Not sure how one might configure around this.
If you're wondering why tramp just hangs then check that ssh hasn't just suddenly died. This may be due to pppd, routers or whatever. In any case neither ssh on the client nor sshd on the server notice that the connection has disappeared. When the next command is sent, however, ssh notices that the line has been dropped and exits. And now you have a problem - however, just hitting C-g and then attempting the save/get/whatever operation again should just work (until the next time ssh is dropped).
Another thing that can cause tramp to hang (I saw this with Solaris at the remote end) is using an ancient /bin/sh as the remote shell. Switching to bash fixed it.
I had a hang when I saw "Sending the Perl 'mime-encode'
implementations." Setting my default method to "scp" fixed it (though now it's slower).
If Tramp hangs with Solaris at the local end, try using "scpx" as your default tramp method. Also check that the hostname you are invoking Tramp with, matches what is in the ~/.ssh/known_hosts
file; e.g. if the known_hosts file specifies the host with an IP, use an IP in the Tramp invocation.
If you're using SVN or DARCS (or likely other things) with VC, see below for problem descriptions.
If you are using a customized prompt in your shell, tramp can hang because it doesn't recognize you prompt as a prompt. You can either make sure your prompt ends in $, or modify tramp-shell-prompt-pattern (I came to this through http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.tramp/6996)
If you are a victim of the following:
tramp: Waiting for remote host to process data...
It could be a problem with sending large chunks to the remote host. Please type C-h v tramp-chunksize RET
and follow the instructions shown there.
You could also (setq tramp-chunksize 500)
to see if that helps.
If you use zsh and Tramp hangs every time you try to connect, try placing this in your .zshrc:
[[ $TERM == "dumb" ]] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ '
Alternatively, I had success using the following in my .zshrc:
unsetopt prompt_cr
I've noticed that preexec and precmd call also be noxious if they do fancy stuff. I've ended up with:
if [[ "$TERM" == "dumb" ]] then unsetopt zle unsetopt prompt_cr unsetopt prompt_subst unfunction precmd unfunction preexec PS1='$ ' fi
None of the above worked for me so I decided to just change the SHELL environment variable. There is no added benefit from running zsh inside tramp anyway.
(eval-after-load 'tramp '(setenv "SHELL" "/bin/bash"))
To connect to a very old system I had to switch the remote, default LANG to a non-utf8 one (in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
) Otherwise tramp would hang right after sending exec /bin/sh
. Tracing showed any utf8 LANG to somehow output extra CRs characters, causing tramp to wait the prompt forever. This could be locale bug.
Note that some of the Tips and tricks below still refer to the old multi:
syntax, which was removed in Emacs 23 (in Emacs 23 you must configure proxies manually to facilitate multi-hops).
As of Emacs 24.3, an analog of the old multi:
syntax has been layered on top of the modern 'tramp-default-proxies-alist'
approach, meaning that you can once again perform multi-hops without any prior configuration. For details, see:
C-h i g (tramp) Ad-hoc multi-hops RET
With the new syntax, each 'hop' is separated by |
. The example in the manual is:
C-x C-f /ssh:bird@bastion|ssh:you@remotehost:/path
Which connects firstly as bird@bastion
, and from there to you@remotehost:/path
You can also use this syntax to sudo/su to root (or of course any other user) on a remote host:
C-x C-f /ssh:you@remotehost|sudo:remotehost:/path/to/file RET
Important: be sure to specify the hostname explicitly: sudo:remotehost:
rather than sudo::
(see below).
As this still uses the proxy mechanism underneath, 'tramp-default-proxies-alist'
should now include the value ("remotehost" "root" "/ssh:you@remotehost:")
Meaning that the proxy /ssh:you@remotehost:
is going to be used whenever you request a file as root@remotehost
is the default user for these methods, but you can of course also change to a non-root user with:
C-x C-f /ssh:you@remotehost|sudo:them@remotehost:/path/to/file RET
You are probably used to using sudo::
or su::
and omitting the hostname. If you are staying on the localhost then this is still fine, but if you are hopping to a remote server then you must specify the hostname for every hop – even if it is the same as for the previous hop. Always use sudo:hostname:
or su:hostname:
with remote hosts.
The trap here is that sudo::
does actually appear to work – however when you do that the HOST for the dynamic proxy entry will be the hostname you originated from rather than the host you connected to. This will not only look confusing (as the wrong host will be displayed in the file paths), but it will also mean that any subsequent attempt to use sudo::
on your localhost will instead be proxied to the remote server! (and the proxy would also presumably be clobbered if you did the same thing on a second server, causing further issues).
In short, don't use ::
when you multi-hop!
C-x C-f /su::/etc/hosts RET
Please note the double :
One lazy afternoon, one "sudo vi foo" too many (or rather "udo vi foo", while my term was blocked because of the stupid ^S handling), I came up with this and was, subsequently, happy:
It may be worth knowing that the sudo method and tail.el doesn't get along. At least on bkhl's machine, opening stuff with /sudo: wont work if tail.el is loaded.
(defvar find-file-root-prefix (if (featurep 'xemacs) "/[sudo/root@localhost]" "/sudo:root@localhost:" ) "*The filename prefix used to open a file with `find-file-root'.") (defvar find-file-root-history nil "History list for files found using `find-file-root'.") (defvar find-file-root-hook nil "Normal hook for functions to run after finding a \"root\" file.") (defun find-file-root () "*Open a file as the root user. Prepends `find-file-root-prefix' to the selected file name so that it maybe accessed via the corresponding tramp method." (interactive) (require 'tramp) (let* ( ;; We bind the variable `file-name-history' locally so we can ;; use a separate history list for "root" files. (file-name-history find-file-root-history) (name (or buffer-file-name default-directory)) (tramp (and (tramp-tramp-file-p name) (tramp-dissect-file-name name))) path dir file) ;; If called from a "root" file, we need to fix up the path. (when tramp (setq path (tramp-file-name-localname tramp) dir (file-name-directory path))) (when (setq file (read-file-name "Find file (UID = 0): " dir path)) (find-file (concat find-file-root-prefix file)) ;; If this all succeeded save our new history list. (setq find-file-root-history file-name-history) ;; allow some user customization (run-hooks 'find-file-root-hook)))) (global-set-key [(control x) (control r)] 'find-file-root)
This rebinds C-x C-r. I don't have any use for find-file-read-only, so I guess that's the closest to C-x C-f you can come, QWERTY-keymap-wise. (-; --AndreasFuchs
You'll be pleased to note that it's good Dvorak-wise too :D --ErikBourget
Great stuff Andreas! I edited the above suggestion to improve the handling of history list and added a "find-file-root-hook". The latter is very useful for doing some system file specific things. For example, the following can help to discourage careless editing of system files:
(defface find-file-root-header-face '((t (:foreground "white" :background "red3"))) "*Face use to display header-lines for files opened as root.") (defun find-file-root-header-warning () "*Display a warning in header line of the current buffer. This function is suitable to add to `find-file-root-hook'." (let* ((warning "WARNING: EDITING FILE AS ROOT!") (space (+ 6 (- (window-width) (length warning)))) (bracket (make-string (/ space 2) ?-)) (warning (concat bracket warning bracket))) (setq header-line-format (propertize warning 'face 'find-file-root-header-face)))) (add-hook 'find-file-root-hook 'find-file-root-header-warning)
(defun find-file-hook-root-header-warning () (when (and buffer-file-name (string-match "root@localhost" buffer-file-name)) (find-file-root-header-warning))) (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'find-file-hook-root-header-warning)
Using find-file-hook is better, I think. – rubikitch
The code above depends on function tramp-file-name-path
, which appears to me not to be defined anywhere in the current release of TRAMP (2.1.13) nor in any of four random earlier releases I downloaded and checked. No luck on google (some usages, no definition), koders or krugle either.
has been replaced by tramp-file-name-localname
in CVS on 2003-02-15. I updated the above snippets. From the commit message:
[…]Replace term 'path'
with 'localname'
unless it is used for a search path. In GNU, the word 'path'
is reserved for search paths.[…]
– BerndWachter?
And the following can help us maintain a record of any changes we make to system files:
(defvar find-file-root-log "~/system/root-log" "*ChangeLog in which to log changes to system files.") (defun find-file-root-log-do-it() "Add an entry for the current buffer to `find-file-root-log'." (let ((add-log-mailing-address "root@localhost") (add-log-full-name "") (add-log-file-name-function 'identity) (add-log-buffer-file-name-function (lambda () ;; strip tramp prefix (tramp-file-name-localname (tramp-dissect-file-name (or buffer-file-name default-directory))) ))) (add-change-log-entry nil find-file-root-log 'other-window))) (defun find-file-root-log-on-save () "*Prompt for a log entry in `find-file-root-log' after saving a root file. This function is suitable to add to `find-file-root-hook'." (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'find-file-root-log-do-it 'append 'local)) (add-hook 'find-file-root-hook 'find-file-root-log-on-save)
Or we may just have some personal preferences:
(defun my-find-file-root-hook () "Some personal preferences." ;; Turn auto save off and simplify backups (my version of tramp ;; barfs unless I do this:-) (setq buffer-auto-save-file-name nil) (set (make-local-variable 'backup-by-copying) nil) (set (make-local-variable 'backup-directory-alist) '((".")))) (add-hook 'find-file-root-hook 'my-find-file-root-hook)
I often view or edit file remotely and extended the above procedure to handle files already open with tramp. The code is a bit ugly but it is working. It is meant to replace toggle-read-only function. I have only tested it on Emacs.
(defun really-toggle-read-only (&optional force) "Change whether this buffer is visiting its file read-only by really trying to acquire the rights with sudo (and tramp)" (interactive "P") (let* ((currentfilename buffer-file-name) (newfilename ;; We first check that the buffer is linked to a file (if (not currentfilename) ;; If not, we just toggle the read-only mark nil ;; What is the current state (if buffer-read-only ;; The buffer is read-only, we should acquire rights to edit it (if (and (not force) (file-writable-p currentfilename)) ;; The file is writable, we don't need to acquire rights nil (if (buffer-modified-p) (error "Buffer is read-only and has been modified.

There are some bugs: for example, you need to always use the former user@host (and not just host). This is because tramp-make-tramp-file-name with multi as the first paremeter does not accept nil as one of the member of the user vector.
-- VincentBernat
I use ido, it's very handy. So I always open the file use ido-find-file and then open it with TRAMP:
(defun find-alternative-file-with-sudo () (interactive) (when buffer-file-name (find-alternate-file (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:" buffer-file-name)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-r") 'find-alternative-file-with-sudo)
I really like the above. It doesn't work when you run it more than once on a buffer, so made it toggle. Also it works on dired buffers.
(defun find-alternative-file-with-sudo () (interactive) (let ((fname (or buffer-file-name dired-directory))) (when fname (if (string-match "^/sudo:root@localhost:" fname) (setq fname (replace-regexp-in-string "^/sudo:root@localhost:" "" fname)) (setq fname (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:" fname))) (find-alternate-file fname))))
To get this to work, here are some of the things I noticed,
With putty, this finally seems to work.
vbscript way to launch emacs from a shortcut (don't need to be in cygwin prompt or putty) and still work:
WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l -c /usr/local/emacs/22.2/bin/emacs", 0, false
One fair warning is that it may not work with every env. I have an office notebook that wonâÂÂt work with the above method. However, that is because it also wonâÂÂt work even if I start emacs from cygwin command prompt. It must be that particular cygwin installation that is causing the problem. YMMV – WeyHan?
Could both recipes be made clearer? What is meant by "you have to create your keys and stuff" and "put them in memory"? What is puttygen and how to use it? How to start paegant and load keys? – DrewAdams
I tried using the nqmacs build (21.3.50, from 2004/07/26) on Windows XP, which apparently uses Tramp, not ange-ftp, by default. I wasn't successful connecting to Linux with Tramp. Advice on what to check (at both ends: Linux and Windows)? I tried with 'tramp-default-method'
as "ssh" and as "sshx". I tried starting Emacs from a Cygwin shell also. – DrewAdams
The following commands, from the cygwin shell, have worked for me with ntemacs-21.2, winXP-SP2, tramp-2.1.3:
$ eval `ssh-agent` $ ssh-add $ (/cygdrive/c/emacs-21.2/bin/emacs &)
The most common problem with ntemacs and cygwins openssh is the following: "Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal." This is solved by adding:
(setq tramp-default-method "ssh") (nconc (cadr (assq 'tramp-login-args (assoc "ssh" tramp-methods))) '(("bash" "-i"))) (setcdr (assq 'tramp-remote-sh (assoc "ssh" tramp-methods)) '("bash -i"))
– Kvasi
The above also helped me solve that /bin/sh doesn't expand tilde (~) correctly in Solaris. Either set it to bash like above (which might or might not be installed), or ksh. – HenrikHolmboe?
Getting tramp to work on windows 2000 was a pain! So, I wrote a tutorial. Hope it helps.
FWIW, here is my Windows shortcut target for launching Emacs via Cygwin, and having it inherit Cygwin's environment variables. %APPDATA% is the Windows equivalent of $HOME, and is where NTEmacs would look for .emacs etc by default when launching outside of cygwin, so this keeps things consistent.
C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c "env HOME=\"`cygpath '%APPDATA%'`\" /cygdrive/c/emacs/emacs-23.1/bin/runemacs.exe"
If your cygwin bash profile manages your ssh-agent for you, then this approach makes TRAMP via the sshx method pretty seamless.
And yet another take on the same problem, after trying all of the above: SshWithNTEmacs. If anyone else is struggling, I suggest we take the conversation over to there. – JeremyMoore
Tramp-mode can be made to operate within the cygwin/X environment as an alternative to NTEmacs. In this approach, emacs is installed as a cygwin package and can be run in the cmd bash shell, rxvt, or under X-windows. In order for tramp-mode to function, the following should be added to your .emacs file:
;; tramp support (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/") (require 'tramp) (setq tramp-default-method "sshx")
This was tested on Windows XP using:
GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit) of 2004-03-23 on cm-test CYGWIN_NT-5.1 diogenes 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin
This approach works with or without ssh-agent / keychain. It also works using the stock cygwin.bat, with "tty and binmode" cygwin.bat, with rxvt, or under X-windows.
I'm trying to use tramp on a Windows box to connect to an AIX machine ("porco") via telnet because I can't install ssh on porco, and I'm having to use "plink -telnet" because the default telnet client is broken - both "telnet" and "plink -telnet" work when I run them in DOS or 4NT windows, but "telnet" exits immediately when invoked inside a "M-x shell" buffer…
This is a log from an M-x shell buffer, with hostnames and usernames changed to protect me from sysadmin paranoia:
[c:\edrx\edrx]plink -telnet porco

The output in the buffer *tramp/plink aixuser@porco* is terribly brief: just

Any hints on how to debug that? Thanks, cheers, EduardoOchs (2005-12-13)
By the way, I'm using nqmacs ("GNU Emacs 220.127.116.11 (i386-mingw-nt5.0.2195) of 2005-06-26") on Windows 2000…
I get the plinkt work with 184.108.40.206 on windows XP. My configuration is almost the same as yours except: 1, (tramp-login-args (("-telnet") ("%h"))); 2, I didn't configure tramp-password-end-of-line. – lgfang
Say I can ssh to node 'secret' only from 'remote', I'd use:
Can I set TrampMode up so that a method like:
would access the same file in the same manner? I.e., can I set it up to use an abbreviated path? – Dirk
This works in debian lenny (2009), which comes with emacs 22.2 and tramp 2.0.55:
/multi:ssh:me@localhost:ssh:other@localhost: # gets me to dired on other /multi:ssh:me@foo:ssh:me@bar:sudo:me@localhost: # edits
It is awesome!
Multi-hops seems like an obsolete format. The current documentation (May 2005) says stuff about proxies.
First set up a proxy triplet:
; host + user > proxy (add-to-list 'tramp-default-proxies-alist '("\\`.*\\.firewalled\\.site\\.edu\\'" nil "/ssh:proxy\\.firewalled\\.site\\.edu:"))
Then use as normal:
C-x C-f /hidden.firewalled.site.edu:
I am also interested in being able to use prefixes/abbrebiations as Dirk asked. So I raise this question again in order to let this page pop up in RecentChanges, so that smart people will notice it ;-) – Jurijs Oniscuks
One way of doing this would be to define your own function to add to 'FILE-NAME-HANDLER-ALIST'
, to be invoked instead of tramp:
something like:
(defvar my-tramp-abbrevs '(("secret" . "some-long-method") ("host2" . "some-other-method"))) (defun my-file-name-handler (filename &rest rest) (setq filename (catch 'done (loop for (abbrev . name) in my-tramp-abbrevs if (string= abbrev (something-to-extract-filename)) (throw 'done (substitute-abbrev-with-full-name))) (throw 'done filename))) (let ((file-name-handler-alist (cdr file-name-handler-alist))) (find-file filename)))
This is rather rough, and most probably needs some serious testing, since it's done without recourse to an Emacs installation.
Basically, you add your own handler to the front of file-name-handler-alist, then, check the filename to see if it matches one of the abbreviations you've defined. If yes, the abbreviation is substituted. Then, we reinvoke find-file, and let the other file-name-handlers kick in. – LawrenceMitchell
By the way, it might be worth asking on the tramp list to see if anyone else has a fully-fledged, and working, abbreviation scheme.
I just use AbbrevMode. It works well for me. – JoelHolveck
Here's a method proposed by bojohan on #emacs, that involves using environment variables:
(setenv "SECRET" "/ssh:email@example.com:")
Then you only need to load:
– MichelValdrighi?
I find using a bookmark works quite well: just open a frequently accessed file/directory using tramp and type C-x r m. Then you can give it as short a name as you like. See BookMarks for more details. --EmorySmith?
Why is multi:… an obsolete format? Was it deemed too easy or something? Why should I have to set up a proxy variable just to open a file once? I understand the desire to add more features (and the proxy thing looks like a useful feature) but not at the expense of existing simplicity.
I hope there's a sensible explanation. I would love to be pointed to a logical explanation of why trying to open /multi:ssh:foo:ssh:bar: will cause the heat death of the universe but I fear there may be no such thing.

I get this in Subversion Output:
svn: '/sudo:root@localhost:/home/elements' is not a working copy
In Messages:
apply: Error running Subversion to check status of `shadow'
And in my .emacs I have:
(add-to-list 'vc-handled-backends 'SVN)
If you don't need to use vc-svn at all - i use psvn (http://www.xsteve.at/prg/vc_svn/) exclusively - here's a quick fix to effectively disable vc-svn entirely so that you can edit files with tramp/sudo.
Find the function 'vc-svn-registered'
in vc-svn.el (should be around line 112) and replace it with the following:
;; hack to disable vc-svn (defun vc-svn-registered (file) nil)
I use this in my .emacs to disable vc-svn on files accessed with tramp:
(defadvice vc-svn-registered (around my-vc-svn-registered-tramp activate) "Don't try to use SVN on files accessed via TRAMP." (if (and (fboundp 'tramp-tramp-file-p) (tramp-tramp-file-p (ad-get-arg 0))) nil ad-do-it))
This is a similar advice for DVC mode (thanks to folks at ru_emacs):
(defadvice dvc-current-active-dvc (around dvc-current-active-dvc-no-tramp activate) "Don't try to use DVC on files accessed via TRAMP." (if (and (fboundp 'tramp-tramp-file-p) (tramp-tramp-file-p (dvc-uniquify-file-name default-directory))) nil ad-do-it))
Editing files not under DARCS version control via TRAMP doesn't work when using Jorgen Schäfer's vc-darcs.el v1.3 or earlier, please upgrade to 1.4. See VcDarcs
I guess the simplest way would be a hook, but I can't figure out what the name of the Tramp hook is. tramp-mode-hook doesn't seem to work – bkhl
try here: http://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/#Auto_002dsave-and-Backup --EmorySmith?
how about just overwriting tramp-auto-save ? – Gyom
(require 'tramp) (defun tramp-set-auto-save () (auto-save-mode -1))
(require 'tramp) (setq tramp-debug-buffer t) (setq tramp-verbose 10)
– CarsonReynolds (adopted from PhilSuh)
See also 'How to Customize Traces'
in the TRAMP info manual ('C-h i'
). The tramp-debug-buffer variable seems to be missing and, I guess, deprecated in GNU Emacs 23.
Use the self-described "kludgy" hostname (see documentation for tramp-open-connection-rsh function): C-x C-f /ssh:test@host#2222:/tmp
The kludge does not work with plink (at least with plink v.0.60 and tramp coming with emacs 22.2.1), since tramp uses the hard-coded argument -p to specify the port, while plink wants -P (upper case). Need to introduce a customizable variable to this end.
– MstislavElagin?
If you are using editing files remotely on CVS, and that CVS server is itself a remote machine requiring passphrase via ssh, try this trick. Add "-A" to your argument list for ssh. "-A" will forward your SSH keys to the remote machine (say remotemachine1), which can then use those keys for the authentication to the remote CVS server (say remotemachine2). Check this from the command line first:
$ ssh -A remotemachine1 $ cd <to-working-checkout-using-remotemachine2-as-repository> $ cvs log file
If this is working, you should not be prompted for a passphrase. (You will need to ensure your SSH key on your local machine is also on the remote CVS server remotemachine2).
To setup TRAMP to use these options: use "M-x customize-option tramp-methods", then insert a "-A" in "ssh" in the "tramp-login-args" just before "-e" and "none".
A simpler solution if you don't mind all of your SSH commands forwarding the SSH keys (this has security implications, so be careful), is to add:
ForwardAgent yes
in your ~/.ssh/config
(Tested with Emacs from CVS 22.0.50 and Tramp 2.0.47).
Because tramp uses plink to login with all putty variants, and ssh to login with all openssh variants, its not possible to use psftp or sftp connection using Tramp. There's not a way to override the tramp-login-program aspect of the alist tramp-methods. Unfortunately, nothing's changed since 2004.[1][2] Tramp can only do SFTP over SSH, and AngeFtp doesn't currently support SFTP, and with no plans to handle it, since Tramp supports SFTP over SSH.
This is problematic with hosting accounts where access is only via sftp… other protocals (such as ssh) are disabled.
Does anyone have a working configuration that combines tramp and archive-mode? I can open the remote archive but when I try to open a file within the archive I get:
byte-code: Opening output file: no such file or directory, c:/archive.tmp4324x-f/arc-mode.4324xFU
This is using the following config:
; tramp ;(setq archive-tmpdir "/temp") (setq temporary-file-directory "/") ;(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) ;(add-untranslated-filesystem "/sshx:") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/emacs/tramp-2.1.14/lisp/") ;(setq vc-handled-backends nil) (require 'tramp) (setq tramp-default-method "scpwrapper") ; for tramp 2.2.14: (add-to-list 'tramp-methods '("scpwrapper" (tramp-login-program "ssh") (tramp-login-args (("%h") ("-l" "%u") ("-p" "%p") ("-q") ("-e" "none" "-t" "-t" "/bin/sh"))) (tramp-remote-sh "/bin/sh") (tramp-copy-program "scpwrapper") (tramp-copy-args (("-p" "%k"))) (tramp-copy-keep-date t) (tramp-password-end-of-line nil) (tramp-gw-args (("-o" "GlobalKnownHostsFile=/dev/null") ("-o" "UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null") ("-o" "StrictHostKeyChecking=no"))) (tramp-default-port 22)))
scpwrapper is just a script that converts arguments of the form "c:/"
to "/cygdrive/c"
Fixed to make this question Windows/Cygwin-specific - in GNU Emacs 24.2, I can view /ssh:…:….zip (and also .tar.gz, which isn't archive-mode) files, and view files inside them, out-of-the-box with no configuration, and I think this has been the case for some time. – DavidOShea
One of the neat things about using TRAMP via a remote shell, is that emacs will then automatically invoke other remote shell commands directly on that server. e.g. When viewing a remote file, try M-x shell
, M-x rgrep
, etc…
I find the following shortcuts to be highly useful for quickly editing files as root; esp via emacsclient (i.e. as an alternative to sudo vi)
(eval-after-load "tramp" '(progn (defvar sudo-tramp-prefix "/sudo::" (concat "Prefix to be used by sudo commands when building tramp path ")) (defun sudo-file-name (filename) (concat sudo-tramp-prefix filename)) (defun sudo-find-file (filename &optional wildcards) "Calls find-file with filename with sudo-tramp-prefix prepended" (interactive "fFind file with sudo ") (let ((sudo-name (sudo-file-name filename))) (apply 'find-file (cons sudo-name (if (boundp 'wildcards) '(wildcards)))))) (defun sudo-reopen-file () "Reopen file as root by prefixing its name with sudo-tramp-prefix and by clearing buffer-read-only" (interactive) (let* ((file-name (expand-file-name buffer-file-name)) (sudo-name (sudo-file-name file-name))) (progn (setq buffer-file-name sudo-name) (rename-buffer sudo-name) (setq buffer-read-only nil) (message (concat "Set file name to " sudo-name))))) (global-set-key "\C-x+" 'sudo-find-file) (global-set-key "\C-x!" 'sudo-reopen-file)))
I fixed Stefan's example to make sudo work with local and remote files with the following:
(set-default 'tramp-default-proxies-alist (quote ((".*" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:")))) (eval-after-load "tramp" '(progn (defvar sudo-tramp-prefix "/sudo:" (concat "Prefix to be used by sudo commands when building tramp path ")) (defun sudo-file-name (filename) (set 'splitname (split-string filename ":")) (if (> (length splitname) 1) (progn (set 'final-split (cdr splitname)) (set 'sudo-tramp-prefix "/sudo:") ) (progn (set 'final-split splitname) (set 'sudo-tramp-prefix (concat sudo-tramp-prefix "root@localhost:"))) ) (set 'final-fn (concat sudo-tramp-prefix (mapconcat (lambda (e) e) final-split ":"))) (message "splitname is %s" splitname) (message "sudo-tramp-prefix is %s" sudo-tramp-prefix) (message "final-split is %s" final-split) (message "final-fn is %s" final-fn) (message "%s" final-fn) ) (defun sudo-find-file (filename &optional wildcards) "Calls find-file with filename with sudo-tramp-prefix prepended" (interactive "fFind file with sudo ") (let ((sudo-name (sudo-file-name filename))) (apply 'find-file (cons sudo-name (if (boundp 'wildcards) '(wildcards)))))) (defun sudo-reopen-file () "Reopen file as root by prefixing its name with sudo-tramp-prefix and by clearing buffer-read-only" (interactive) (let* ((file-name (expand-file-name buffer-file-name)) (sudo-name (sudo-file-name file-name))) (progn (setq buffer-file-name sudo-name) (rename-buffer sudo-name) (setq buffer-read-only nil) (message (concat "File name set to " sudo-name))))) ;;(global-set-key (kbd "C-c o") 'sudo-find-file) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c o s") 'sudo-reopen-file)))

A simple version of the ones above. Designed to allow you to reopen an existing file with sudo, without needing to navigate to it or loose your place in the file. Also works on local or remote files.
(set-default 'tramp-default-proxies-alist (quote ((".*" "\\`root\\'" "/ssh:%h:")))) (require 'tramp) (defun sudo-edit-current-file () (interactive) (let ((position (point))) (find-alternate-file (if (file-remote-p (buffer-file-name)) (let ((vec (tramp-dissect-file-name (buffer-file-name)))) (tramp-make-tramp-file-name "sudo" (tramp-file-name-user vec) (tramp-file-name-host vec) (tramp-file-name-localname vec))) (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:" (buffer-file-name)))) (goto-char position)))
— Russell Sim
Hi. I had trouble getting the above to work with my emacs 24.3 with this new multi syntax for tramp. Always got the "sudo is only for local file" error. I also wanted to press s-return in dired mode to open file using sudo. So here is the modified above code which works for me.
(defun sudo-edit-current-file () (interactive) (let ((my-file-name) ; fill this with the file to open (position)) ; if the file is already open save position (if (equal major-mode 'dired-mode) ; test if we are in dired-mode (progn (setq my-file-name (dired-get-file-for-visit)) (find-alternate-file (prepare-tramp-sudo-string my-file-name))) (setq my-file-name (buffer-file-name); hopefully anything else is an already opened file position (point)) (find-alternate-file (prepare-tramp-sudo-string my-file-name)) (goto-char position)))) (defun prepare-tramp-sudo-string (tempfile) (if (file-remote-p tempfile) (let ((vec (tramp-dissect-file-name tempfile))) (tramp-make-tramp-file-name "sudo" (tramp-file-name-user nil) (tramp-file-name-host vec) (tramp-file-name-localname vec) (format "ssh:%s@%s|" (tramp-file-name-user vec) (tramp-file-name-host vec)))) (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:" tempfile))) (define-key dired-mode-map [s-return] 'sudo-edit-current-file)

Child protection not good enough
10:26am Tuesday 15th October 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
One in seven councils in England are "inadequate" at caring for some of the most vulnerable children in society, a report has found.
The standard of child protection at 20 councils is "unacceptably poor", Ofsted has warned.
Only one in four local authorities are judged to be "good" at safeguarding children, a new report by the watchdog has concluded.
Ofsted, which inspects children's social care including child protective services, said more needs to be done to address "incompetent and ineffective" leadership in children's services.
Some managers do not have a "firm understanding" of what constitutes good practice, the watchdog said.
In its first stand-alone social care annual report, Ofsted said that children's services need "strong and stable leadership" to improve the services that provide help, care and protection to children at risk of abuse or neglect.
Inspectors found that in the weakest places many "basic acceptable practices" were not in place and some authorities were criticised for poor coordination with health workers, police and schools.
HM chief inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw said: "As it stands today, there are 20 councils where the standard of child protection is unacceptably poor and judged to be inadequate.
"Incompetent and ineffective leadership must be addressed quickly. But where those in leadership positions have capacity and potential, this must be recognised and nurtured.
"Too much leadership volatility in social care is counter-productive - that goes without saying. One in three local authorities has had a change in their director of children's services last year alone. The combination of unstable communities and political and managerial instability in our social care services is a dangerous mix."
Ofsted's national director for social care, Debbie Jones, said: "The picture of performance we are publishing today shows there is clearly an ongoing need for improvement.
"Some services are increasingly expert at reducing risk, helping families to look after their children and enabling children at risk in their area to make good progress.
"It can be done, and therefore it must be done in all areas, equally well. Ofsted will be rigorous in holding local councils and social care providers to account but we will also support them to make the improvements that children deserve."
One of the 20 councils deemed to be inadequate was Birmingham City Council, which has now failed on seven inspection judgments.
Sir Michael called England's second city a "national disgrace".
He said: "These characteristics of failure have been encapsulated in one area in particular: England's second city - Birmingham, a city where we have had seven failed inspection judgments, eight whistleblowing incidents in four years, nine years of inadequate serious case reviews, and 10 years of failure for vulnerable children.
"Why is it that nearly a third of children in the city live in households on low incomes? Why is it that infant mortality is almost twice the national average, worse than in Cuba and on a par with Latvia and Chile?
"They must surely be linked to the evidenced failure of corporate governance on a grand scale - governance that has failed to grasp the nettle over many years and which has relegated our second city to fourth division for children's services.
"These are shocking statistics and a national disgrace."
He implied that the council would work better to protect children if it was smaller, saying: "As somebody said about the banks not so long ago, if they are too big to fail, they are too big. The same could be said about this council.
"It is an absolute disgrace and Government needs to look at this with real urgency. If better governance means breaking it up so that children are better protected, then that's what needs to happen."

Vladimir Putin Condemns U.S. Nuclear Defense
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is calling for drastic reductions in planned U.S. missile defense as U.S. and Russian officials spend the last week of the year negotiating a new nuclear disarmament treaty in Geneva, Switzerland. The most recent agreement, the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I), expired on December 5, but both countries have agreed to continue observing it until a new accord is settled. They are also bound by the 2002 Moscow treaty which limits nuclear warheads.
Tony Blair: Climate Missionary or Climate Mercenary?
Tony Blair, global-warming activist and former British prime minister, is under fire from the media for allegedly trying to cash in on climate change. His company, Windrush Ventures, Ltd., registered a new Internet name of "Low Carbon Capital Fund" just weeks before the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. David Derbyshire with the Daily Mail reports that some view this as Blair's way of preparing to make money off green technology. Derbyshire questioned Blair's office, and a spokesman responded, "From time to time, we register names in an area we may be interested in."
Copenhagen Consequences
Parties on both sides of the global-warming debate are calling the UN Climate Change Conference at Copenhagen a failure. Instead of producing a legally binding treaty to curb greenhouse gas emissions, a majority of participating nations merely agreed to "take note" of the Copenhagen Accord, a non-binding agreement to commit to significant emission reductions by next year and to fund environmentally "vulnerable" countries.
Clinton Promises Billions in Eco-Aid at Copenhagen
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is promising delegates to the UN Climate Change Conference billions in foreign aid to developing countries. She's also promising commitment to forming an international authority with regulatory powers over energy and the environment.
Media Ignore Communist Presence at Copenhagen
Among the demonstrations accompanying the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen was the Saturday, December 12 "Global Day of Action" at which protestors from 108 countries marched four miles through the city's streets to demand "climate justice." Brent Baker with the Media Research Center pointed out in his BiasAlert article, "Network journalists who were quick to see racists, haters and extremists amongst the 'tea party' protesters were oblivious... to communists" participating in the march.
Italy Crusades for the Cross
The mayors of several Italian cities are rebelling against a European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruling that bans the crucifix from public classrooms. The ECHR found that the display of crucifixes in state schools is a "violation of the right to education taken jointly with the freedom of thought, conscience and religion."
UK Mandates Sex Education
Children in Britain will be forced to attend at least one year of sex-education classes before their 16th birthday, according to new rules enacted in the United Kingdom. The BBC reports that parents cannot opt out children 15 or older, even if their children attend parochial or religious schools.
Europeans Blown Away by Govt-Funded Wind Farms
Between 500 and 1,000 protesters gathered last weekend at Mont-Saint-Michel in France to demonstrate against plans to build a wind farm along the Normandy coast. They say it would be a useless eyesore disfiguring the bay area.
Celebrating Constitution Day 2011
On Saturday, September 17, our country celebrates its 224th birthday. Constitution Day commemorates the drafting of the U.S. Constitution and the 39 statesmen who signed it that day in 1787. This year, since the anniversary falls on a Saturday, the holiday is observed on Friday, September 16.
Same-sex "Marriage" a Constitutional Right?
A federal judge in California is preparing to rule whether a ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Testimony began January 11 in San Francisco and could last for weeks in a case expected to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
