The notable was wrong.  I *always* run cvsup as ``cvs''.  Your best 
bet is to remove the offending file (or directory if you're not sure 
which file caused the problem).  Cvsup will just fetch the whole 
thing again.

The only thing you need to do as root is the "cvs update" or "cvs co" 
unless you trick the system into not mtree'ing /usr/src.  This can be 
done (I would think) by moving ``src'' to ``realsrc'' and sym-linking 
``realsrc'' back to ``src''.  This should stop mtree from making 
/usr/src un-checkout-able by a normal user.

I just have a perl script that does a `chown -R cvs.research` before 
doing the checkout as user cvs (the script is suid root and only 
executable by group research):
---------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/suidperl

$< = $>;
$ENV{'PATH'} = '/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin';
$ENV{'CVSROOT'} = '/home/ncvs';
chdir('/usr');
umask 002;
print "Forcing cvs.research permissions on src, ports & doc\n";
system('chown -R cvs.research src ports doc');
system('chmod -R ug+w,o-w src ports doc');
print "Changing to user cvs\n";
$< = (getpwnam('cvs'))[2];
print "Checking out source\n";
system('cvs co src');
print "Building source (All.log)\n";
chdir('/usr/src/sys/i386/boot');
system('make clean >All.log 2>&1');
chdir('/usr/src');
system('make -DNOCLEAN buildworld >>All.log 2>&1 &');
chdir('/usr');
print "Checking out ports\n";
system('cvs co ports');
print "Checking out doc\n";
system('cvs co doc');
print "Building doc\n";
chdir('/usr/doc');
system('make');
print "Installing doc\n";
system('make install');
---------------------------------------------------

Cleaning the ``boot'' directory seems to be necessary.  I haven't had 
time to find out why.
