As a system administrator I often want to keep revision control on some configuration files. I just use "ci -l" for this. And ok, playing with permissions, I even get it working for multiple users but it's not optimal. My point is that all RCS/CVS documentation I've read assumes a typical code-development environment where each user checks out a local copy in his own directory. For configuration files, the situation is different, the checked out file must always reside in a certain directory and remain checked out at all times. Multiple users must be able to check it in to commit their changes.
