>Description:
The script /usr/sbin/periodic attempts to execute anything with 
an executable set, including directories. The result is an annoying
error message saying "CVS permission denied," in the case of 
running the daily or weekly scripts.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply run "periodic weekly"
>Fix:
The following is a patch. It simply ands the execute bit logic with
"but not a directory" logic.
