This is by design to allow global development processes to correctly work concurrently even when developers are in different time zones. You cannot change this. On the other hand you don't need to worry about it either, you should not use the CVS timestamps for anything in your environment. CVS takes care to touch files on update such that your build environment will correctly note changed files as in need of compile (from the make system). This means that timestamps of updated files will change for every update and be set to the local time (now()) and it also means that your files will not be timestamped the same as anybody elses anyway. The only meaningful indicator of file status is the cvs file revision. Which also is completely handled by CVS itself. Simply don't worry about it, it works guaranteed. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
