Guess 2 (might be both): Change your umask before using cvsup to update the tree. I had a similar problem in a different environment and just wrote a little wrapper script to set the umask the way I wanted it and called cvsup with arguments. If you need help with this just let me know. Doug -- *** Chief Operations Officer, DALnet IRC network *** Go PADRES!
