I think I understand what happened!

I had solaris CVS server with CVS 1.11.2. 

It stores unix permissions in real unix permissions of CVS file inside CVS
repository.
F.e. 
-r-xr-xr-x    1 cvs      cvs          2293 Aug  4 15:53 buildall,v


We migrate to CVSNT, and tag this file! It became to:
-r--r--r--    1 cvs      cvs          3194 Aug  5 10:59 buildall,v

When I commit executable from linux, I discovered that CVSNT stores unix
permissions inside CVS repository file:

----------
permissions     775;
----------

and now everything works fine. 

Commit from windows (2.0.51d) set permissions to 777 (it also OK).

So, as I understand, we should recommit all unix executable files from unix,
and all will be OK.

Am I right ?

TIA!
