[cvsnt] permission issue

[Anil Singh]

We recently setup CVSNT version 2.5.02.2064on a Windows 2003 server
here...though we've gone one troublesome issue.

First, I must admit that I'm not very familiar with CVS so I apologize if
I've missed something terribly obvious...I have searched the archives and
googled for a solution, but haven't found what I need yet.

Basic problem: once in a while, when commiting to the server, files will be
written with either "permission 51;" or "permission 55;" in the .v file.
 When this happens, others can checkout the module but get a message during
the process: "cvs checkout: cannot set time on xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx: Permission
denied".  The files which generate the error are also checked out as
read-only (whereas everything else is writable) and clicking on "edit" does
not remove the read-only attribute.  As a result, they need to go into the
filesystem and unmark read-only before they can change and commit the files.

It doesn't happen every time, I've modified a file myself a few times to
test and it usually commits with "permission 666;".  As a test, I modified
the permission line for some of the .v files and changed "permission 55;" to
"permission 666;" on the last commit and the file worked as we would like
when checked out.

Clients are using WinCVS 2.0.2.4, global option to commit as writeable is
set.  I don't believe that any watchers are set.

Would really like it if everything was commited as "permission 666;" or that
entry was ignored entirely...

Any ideas would be appreciated...thanks for the help...
