I have  a question regarding the co command in RCS.  We are a large 
organization with several developers who are checking out files from 
RCS.  We would like to see who has locked the file if it is already 
checked out.  As I understand, the command already does this with 
-l...our problem is that we have restricted the use of co and ci to a 
superuser function, to prevent accidental deletion, and co stores the 
superuser Id instead of the developers user Id.  
Is there a way that we can retrieve the developers original user ID for 
the co command?

Thanks,
