RE: always read-write: how? ...newbie

[vvor]

We've had this option UN-checked forever. That didn't cause this!

We have /cvs as the top of the tree.

/cvs/CVSROOT is the repository.

/cvs/CVSROOT/$module_names is where all the modules are.

When co-ing, either from cmdline or wincvs, over pserver, the files are
checked out read-only. CVSREAD is NOT set at all. There are no ./cvsrc files
anywhere. I've looked thru all the admin files and I cannot find anything
that might be causing this, but I may be missing something obvious to
someone experienced.

We have a group "users" within which belong all the users. These are system
accounts only, and authentication is functioning.

Permissions are:

user            r w x
group   r w s
others  r - x

Umask appears to be 022.

When I co via telnet, the files are checked out read-write.

I don't know how to tell if there a watch or a lock that is doing this.
