Re: Problems with file permissions

[James Hughes]

It sounds like you have the CVSREAD environment variable set, which 
causes files to be set read-only on update or checkout. If this is the 
case, you need to do "cvs edit <filename>" to get read-write 
permissions. Or, just unset CVSREAD and you won't have to worry about it.
