This has been bothering me for far too long.
As a dedicated Emacs user, and a follower of the 'one app to do it all' philosophy, I don't want to have to open a second Emacs session to gain root access to remote (mounted as a WebDAV filesystem) files that need root access to be modified. I do have SSH access to that system, but it's the preferred convention to use the WebDAV interface.
Can Tramp fix this? Is there another option? I had a look at the EmacsWiki, but most (all?) of the examples and Lisp code were not what I was looking for.
