That's exactly the case. The repository was migrated from CVS 1.12, with only the CVSROOT directory being changed for CVSNT. All other directories were left completely untouched. > Possibly a problem where tag doesn't migrate the file > permissions into the new RCS file when there is no existing > permission record, but that's just a guess. > > Tony Eva -- Try going into your sandbox, setting the permissions > properly, then do a checkin -f to force it to commit with the > correct permissions and see if that clears up the problem. Thank you, that has cleared the problem. If I examine the RCS file after the commit -f I see that it now has a "permissions 755;" line that was not there before. I hadn't realised that the permissions are stored in the RCS file -- I assume that this is a CVSNT feature? It might be a good idea to add this to the Wiki as part of the section on migrating a repository from CVS to CVSNT. Thanks for the help. -- Tony
