Using RCS to manage my config files is my preferred way of doing things 
on my OpenBSD box.  I've been doing it that way since I started with 
2.9, and still with 3.1.  It's saved my butt a few times, when I've 
made changes that I thought worked, and checked in before testing.  I 
even keep my /etc/motd file under RCS control, which is probably a 
waste, but what the hell.
