a few more details (the mail gateway hasn't forwarded Michael's message 
yet, but i can see it on google groups)

1. start Emacs
  $ emacs -Q &

2. open /etc/hosts
  C-x C-f /su::/etc/hosts

3. enter password when prompted
4. the file loads ok
5. quit emacs

-------------------------------------------------
the second scenario:
a. start Emacs
  $ emacs -Q &

b. activate ffap-bindings
  M-: (ffap-bindings)

c. open /etc/hosts [1]
  C-x C-f /su::/etc/hosts

d. there is no prompt for root password although Emacs
   was started from a user's account; the echo area says:
   "Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create directory and its parents"
   The /etc/hosts file isn't loaded.
