I've been using RCS for a number of years for single-user projects.

Now, I want to figure out how to use this for multiple user projects.

I see a has_setuid macro, but no real instructions (I assume if an access list
is used, the files are owned by root and the rcs programs have to be setuid to root?)

PVCS (never used it, just help install it) has a scheme where all the programs/files
are owned by a special user...

Will this also work with rcs?

Anyone, pointers on how to do this or where to look would be helpful.
