Default Problems using SUDO for RCS and using "Defaults>root !set_logname"parm

I have been setting up SUDO to run RCS commands for us and found that when
I did a CO with a lock, since SUDO was running under root it would put the lock
down as being given to root. This would enable anyone to do a CO with a lock
since everyone would be root. I found that if you added "Defaults>root
!set_logname" in VISUDO this would fix the problem. The problem I have
encountered now is that this works fine with AIX 5.3 and SUDO 1.6.7 but when I
try and use this parm on AIX 5.2 and SUDO 1.6.7 I receive a syntax error with
this parm. Do I need to add other commands in VISUDO or does someone have a way
to get around this problem. THANKS!

Greg
