Thanks! Setting LOGNAME to the the name of the UID fixes the problem.
Unless I am mistaken, this doesn't seem to be noted in the documention.
(Perhaps if LOGNAME doesn't exist, RCS falls back on UID?)
I think it is matter of more than just the strings RCS puts into the log
file, as apparently RCS will refuse to check in a file if the user name of
the person attempting to check in a file doesn't match the locker (as
determined by the user name string, not a UID).
