I wasn't aware of this environment variable (even though I spent quite a while on this problem). Using CVSUMASK certainly works when working on the server machine!
However, I'm not sure what to do in client/server situations. The CVS manual states: "Note that using the client/server CVS (see section Remote repositories), there is no good way to set CVSUMASK; the setting on the client machine has no effect." We are currently using a pserver installation, with developers using windows machines. We need a way to achieve the same effect with a user on a windows machine doing an import. Do you have any idea how this can be done? Thank you!
