Re: tramp (2.0.52); Saving files changes ownership

[Nelson Ingersoll]

  It seems to me that when you log in as ROOT you should expect that ROOT will
own the files.  If you want to files to be owned by 'NEMO' then log in as
'NEMO' as in:

    C-x C-f /ssh:address@hidden:/home/nemo/foo

   Good luck.
