     Since it doesn't sound like you are running RCS setuid, it might
be as easy as changing an environment variable.  For speed, RCS checks
the LOGNAME (and USER if LOGNAME doesn't exist) environment variable
to get the login name.  Make sure after the people su that this is set
to what you want.  On my system, after I su, it is still set to the
original user name.

     By the way, I tried to send a response to your mail to
rcs-bugs@cs.purdue.edu, however, my mail to danw@hobbes.prime.com
bounced ("hobbes: Host hobbes is down").  If this doesn't answer your
question, send me a note.
