RE: $CVSROOT/CVSROOT scripts

Yes thanks you. A couple of folks have pointed that out
already and I did a "Duhhh" response. So I did this and
it worked, but it worked "too good." I set the perms.
"on" the RCS file to r-xr-x---, but when I checked out/
checked in/commit, RCS file had r-xr-xr-- (gave read
permission to others). Why? Again CVSUMASK is set to
007.
