Googling for the following I found explanations which I don't understand.
Could someone explain to me what this means slowly please?


Checking in currentstudents/netapply.shtml;
/usr/cvs/htdocs/currentstudents/netapply.shtml,v  <--  netapply.shtml
new revision: 1.49; previous revision: 1.48
done
cvs commit: cannot change mode of file netapply.shtml: Operation not permitted
cvs commit: cannot change mode of file netapply.shtml: Operation not permitted


# ls -l /usr/backup/htdocs/currentstudents/netapply.shtml
-rw-rw-r--  1 prlw1  www  6253 Jul 16 03:16 /usr/backup/htdocs/currentstudents/netapply.shtml

is the file which is being commited by

# cat /etc/daily.local
cd /usr/backup/htdocs && su rdist -c "cvs commit -m ''"
# ls -l /usr/cvs/htdocs/currentstudents/netapply.shtml,v
-r--r--r--  1 rdist  cvs  13538 Jul 16 03:16 /usr/cvs/htdocs/currentstudents/netapply.shtml,v
# id rdist
uid=519(rdist) gid=80(www) groups=80(www),2401(cvs)
# pwd
/usr/backup/htdocs/currentstudents
# su rdist -c "cvs commit -m ''"
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Examining software

Why would running the above at the prompt be different than executing from
daily?

Cheers,

Patrick
