>Synopsis: ident from OpenBSD's RCS suite should probably ignore $RCSINIT

>Description:
I only use the RCSINIT environment variable with a value of '-zLT', in
order to always view dates in local time. RCS command `ident` does not
support option '-z', so it errors out.
This behaviour is different from what I get with GNU RCS, where `ident`
just ignores $RCSINIT.
>How-To-Repeat:
export RCSINIT='-zLT'
ident <some file>
>Fix:
My current workaround (with ksh):
alias ident='RCSINIT= ident'
