So, one of my pet peeves with using emacs to do my editing tasks on
various efn hosts is that due to OS diversity the emacs install is never
the same on any two hosts, leading to a plethora of complications; it's
often easier to bite the bullet and use vi. Today i was reading the
O'Reilly SSH book's discussion of ssh-agent and agent forwarding, and
i began to wonder if a similar mechanism might be implemented with
gnuserv and emacsclient, with some sort of forwarding agent, so that
when, on host foo, i fired off
$ emacsclient file.txt
file.txt would be opened for editing in the emacs session on my local host...
