Do not do that.

Right.

I suspect someone has added a 'cvs watch' of some kind for the file OR
someone has done a 'cvs edit' for the file.

One of these commands should tell you who is messing with you:

  cvs watchers filename

  cvs editors filename

The way to change the mode of the file if watchers or editors are in
place is to use a

  cvs edit filename

which may try to break the advisory lock for that revision.

Telling the user to do a 'cvs unedit filename' or 
'cvs watch -a remove filename' should revert to the
behavior you expect.

        Good luck,
