Thanks for the reply.

So, if I want to keep users from adding .ldb files what should my strategy
be?

cvsignore only affects files that are not already in the repository.
Import uses it to select which files to add (which is its main use).
WinCVS I believe also uses it to decide whether to show files.

Doing a 'cvs add' on a file overrides cvsignore.
