[1.7] RCS - co -l fails if *,v not owned by user -

[Yeng Chen]

RCS co -l fails if the ,v file is not owned by the user.
I get a permission denied error.
In my case, the RCS directory is on samba.

It seems to fix it if in conf.h I change
#define bad_b_rename 1

The flag makes it delete the target(*,v) before renaming the work file
(,*,v -> *,v)

Thanks

How about if you just remount using the "acl" flag instead of "noacl"?
