I'm using SSH with CVS. Everything worked yesterday, but today when ever a user commits a file somehow the file's permissions are changed on the server to the user who commited. Like so: [server] $ ls -l -rwxrwx--- 1 frodo users 765 Jul 25 14:24 newt.txt,v From the above you can see that newt.txt,v is assigned to the "users" group. However, when user "frodo" commits a change: cvs commit -m "frodo's change" The permissions for newt.txt,v on the server are changed to the "frodo" group: [server] $ ls -l -rwxrwx--- 1 frodo frodo 929 Jul 25 14:50 newt.txt,v Now if any other CVS user wants to update the code, I have to SSH to the CVS server and change the group permissions back to "users". Any ideas on what could be causing this? Best, tony

So, what kind of server do you mean, a pserver? In many cases it's a
good idea to just do CVS over SSH. I guess there's even another kind of
server isn't there?
If I understand you right, the solution has something to do with what
user the pserver is running as. I'm really not sure beyond that.
