I think I have the problem. I change the line after cecking out the 
CVSROOT dir from within my project:
$ cvs status loginfo
===================================================================
File: loginfo           Status: Up-to-date
...

$ diff loginfo /var/lib/cvsd/FarSight/CVSROOT/loginfo
32c32
< #ALL mail -s %s address@hidden
---
> ALL mail -s %s address@hidden


How in the world could this happen ? How come cvs can tell me this is up 
to date, but it isn't.

How does one rebuild the administrative database ?
