It's been a long time since I used RCS, but as I recall: RCS is a predecessor to CVS. They are both file-based, which makes it difficult to see "the following three cert files were all updated at the same time, coinciding with changes to the following httpd config files." But that's just one missing component; I think it also uses a .rcs subdirectory (or something) which, as Brian pointed out, wreaks havoc on things like modprobe.d, so you either have to specify a non-recursive version change (and experimentally discover what other directories you need to exclude) or ... Well ... there isn't much other alternative. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
