On a file by file basis, I use this:

    (defun find-alternative-file-with-sudo ()
      "Open the current buffer with privileges given by `sudo'."
      (interactive)
      (when buffer-file-name
        (find-alternate-file
         (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:"
             buffer-file-name))))


Cheers
