Re: rssh.el interactions with ange-ftp/efs

Yuck! This is horrible syntax. I frequently use EFS to edit files
as
root on the local host. In fact, since the null string for the
hostname defaults to the local host, then a quick edit of /etc/hosts
can be accomplished by editing /root＠:/etc/hosts. The RFC 1738 syntax
that you describe above would turn this into a mess.
I would find this convenient too, except by default my linux
distribution, denies root ftp (and telnet) access. Now obviously I
could change this, but my usual attitude toward these security issues
is that wiser heads than mine have made it this way for a reason.
I can log in as root with ssh, if I could do the eqivalent of the
above using ssh I'd be happier.
