We are currently in the process of setting up a XENIX machine for our
department. I, (oh joy! oh joy!), have been chosen to the be system admin-
istrator. Not because I'm a GURU, but because I'm the only one with any 
UNIX/XENIX experience. Oh well...

I am interested in using SCCS for configuration management on some projects
that we are currently working on (as well as future applications). One of the
nice features of SCCS, or so I think, is the ability to limit access to files
to a restricted group of people. However, in order to do this, an interface
program must(?) exist.

The discussion in Volume V of the Unix Programmers Manual makes mention of this
interface program, but never really goes into enough detail on just exactly
what it does or how it does it. What I really need to see is any examples that
anyone might have of this interface routine. 

Also, any pointers in the direction of references on SCCS, where I might
begin to look for information on how to perform the duties/tasks of system
administration, any anything else you think are of any importance!

Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
