Well, you are using Tramp's ad-hoc syntax for multi-hop files. Internally, Tramp is using just the tail of the multi-hops, so there is the mapping /ssh:[email protected]|sudo:root@localhost:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local => /sudo:root@localhost:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local /su:jschewe-adm@localhost|sudo:root@localhost:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local => /sudo:root@localhost:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local And yes, Tramp regards them as the same file then. As work-around, I recommend to use for the first file the file name /ssh:[email protected]|sudo:[email protected]:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/local Tramp would understand then, that both files are different. This problem is known, and solved already in Tramp 2.4, which will be part of the upcoming Emacs 27. In an ad-hoc multi-hop file name, host names must match for methods like "su", "sg", "sudo", "doas", and "ksu".
