Symbolic Links

[Randy Rasmussen]

I don't think that RCS (v5.7) works correctly for symbolic links. The 
documentation says that it works for them now.

I have /etc/aliases -> /etc/mail/aliases.

If I run ci aliases from /etc it creates /etc/RCS/aliases,v but deletes 
/etc/aliases. It got aliases from /etc/mail/aliases (following the 
link). It should create /etc/mail/RCS/aliases,v instead and not delete 
the /etc/aliases link. Then co aliases should work from either /etc or 
/etc/mail and know that aliases is in /etc/mail/RCS/aliases,v.

If I run co aliases from /etc it says it can't find /etc/RCS/aliases,v, 
it should follow /etc/alises -> /etc/mail/aliases and then use 
/etc/mail/RCS/aliases,v then copy aliases to /etc/mail/aliases so I can 
edit it and then put it back not changing /etc/aliases link.

Please let me know what the solution is.

Thanks,

Randy
