I have a next running 3.0 and I'm experiencing something rather annoying
with rcs.  Everytime I use /usr/bin/co to check out a file, a background
process is created as shown by the following output from ps :

kambiz@parkcity: [ ~ ] $ ps -augxwww | grep kambiz
kambiz    9647   0.5  1.8 2.47M  432K ?  S     0:02 -bash (bash)
kambiz    9424   0.0  1.8 2.47M  440K ?  S     0:05 -bash (bash)
daemon   11176   0.0  0.8 1.52M  208K ?  S     0:00 /usr/lib/rcssnoop co         
1.5r   1b   0f   5t 92.11.11.14.16.31c 92.11.11.15.05.03o kambiz  
Makefile,v
kambiz   11189   0.0  0.8 1.52M  208K ?  S     0:00 grep kambiz

What is rcssnoop?????  The thing is that this process stays around just
long enough to spew into the window where the co command was started the
following output :

kambiz@parkcity: [ ~/tmp/testing ] $ RCS logfile /private/adm/rcs.log  
seems permanently locked.
               Please alert system administrator


I also have the most recent dist of rcs by GNU and it doesn't behave like
this.  The funny thing is that this behavior only happens on one machine.
Other 3.0 machines aren't as naughty.

Has anyone else seen this happen?  Any tips would be appreciated.
If you would rather e-mail, I will post responses.

rcssnoop records RCS transactions onto a central log file.  This
feature was always optional, and I'm surprised that NeXT turned it on
in their old version of RCS.  The easiest fix is to use a more recent
version of RCS -- snooping is no longer supported, even as an option.
