Hello,
I have a computer from wich all files commited to the linux/pserver CVS
server have their executable bit set. This doesn't happen from any other
computer. It doesn't depend on the login (same login on a different computer
doesn't have the problem). We use CVSNT 2.0.51d.
I didn't even think it was possible to have the executable bit set from a
Windows client.
Could you answer these questions:
- Was the file newly created on the windows machine?
- What is the windows CVSROOT (ssh/pserver...)?
- If you manually re-set the perms (from unix), do the symptoms
re-occurr when windows checks a file in (i.e clean checkout, modify,
checkin)?
- What are the permissions as returned by 'ls -l' of the CVSROOT/module_path/parent_directory_of_the_file and the file itself?
Note: regarding windows file perms on unix - it is possible for windows
to 'set permissions' on unix filesystems. Technically speaking,
it really isn't windows doing this but the FS itself or some
middleware. For example: a file created from windows on a shared
NFS will create the file with a dummy user (some number), group (pswin)
and perms set to 777. At least that is how our system is set up.

Please help. Thanks,
