- I have installed RCS 5.6 on a Sun4 pool (IPC,IPX,SS2) and noticed that
- RCS didn't work correctly with my changing user ID with the su
- command. I'm not sure if I did something wrong at compile time, RCS is
- not working suid or sgid here.

- ^^^^^^ this is not true, I did
- "su emacs", and the emacs login became owner of the file foo.lisp.

- Did I use wrong compile-time options? Is this the normal behavior for
- RCS? I would expect RCS to honor the su command.
