I always do an "rm -rf" of the src directory and then doing an "cvs get". This to avoid potential problems, but to the cost of transferring more data. If the CVS checkout missed the execute permission it's strange. It is because two different servers at two different locations with two different OpenBSD versions (4.0 and 4.1) got the same problem updating their respective versions to latest stable. On top of that... It was one hour between the updates of the servers. However... It seems to work as it should from the anoncvs1.usa.openbsd.org mirror but *NOT* from my most used mirror which is anoncvs1.ca.openbsd.org. Seems the anoncvs1.ca.openbsd.org is broken... At least temporary. Regards /Per-Olov -- GPG keyID: 4DB283CE GPG fingerprint: 45E8 3D0E DE05 B714 D549 45BC CFB4 BBE9 4DB2 83CE
