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.  Am I missing something ?
