Re: Executable bit set on Linux server from Windows client

[Gurmit Teotia]

Scratching the head what can be wrong with this PC....FYI, if the directory
in CVS server already has executable bit set on it then a file checked-in
under it would also have same bit set. May be you already know this.

I'm sorry some one else will have to stepped in.

Thanks,
Gurmit
