moin, moin, I've done this a few times and finally decided to put it up where others can see it. It's a quick and dirty guide to RCS. It is not 'best practices', but it gets you started and provides a minimalist HOWTO. Please let me know if you have questions or comments. One way to use RCS is for system configuration. Before you change a configuration file check it in to RCS. Be careful due to the noted ownership change, and due to it stripping write perms ( shouldn't be a problem for most conf files ). https://www.LuftHans.com/unix/ ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.AZOTO.org/ # Motorraeder toeten nicht.
