There are a number of other reasons this can happen:
- -r on the command line
- .cvsrc (or perhaps other cvsrc'ish files?)
- CVSREAD environment variable
- some global option in CVSROOT/config, I think
For more info:
- see the section "File Permissions" in the CVS manual
- search the list archives, especially for "CVSREAD"; this has
been discussed before
Note that as soon as you define the CVSREAD environment variable,
you'll get read-only files. The value is *ignored*; the mere
fact that CVSREAD is present in the environment at all is what
matters.

I'll ask about Exchange Server next.
