The umask already _is_ 002. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but doesn't the umask simply mask the bits that are assigned when a file is created? It seems pretty clear that CVSup is actually syncing with the master repository by calling chmod(). This is what I see every time I change permissions here and then re-cvsup: SetAttrs src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc,v SetAttrs src/etc/sendmail/freefall.mc,v SetAttrs src/gnu/games/chess/Xchess/scrollText/scrollText.c,v -> Attic Maybe I'll install the M3 compiler tonight and see what I can do. -- Christopher Masto Director of Operations S NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net SSS http://www.netmonger.net \_/ You're either a friend or a foe, and you're an enemy now. - STEVE BALLMER, Executive Vice President, Sales & Support, Microsoft, to Pacific Bell CEO David Dorman after Pacific Bell chose Netscape's Web software over Microsoft's.
