silencing cvs

[Charles Menzes <charles@lunarmedia.net>]

i'm in the midst of a project to guard tftp written files using cvs, i've 
found only one issue that i think can be addressed by someone with 
slightly more cvs experience than me.

files written by the tftp daemon have 666 permissions and owner/group of 
nobody. the script that i have which begins the process of pulling down 
the file through tftp is ran as another user, 'charles' for example.

once the file has been fetched, and resides on the server, the current 
user then runs a 'cvs diff router.test' and then commits the file using 

 cvs commit -m "change made blah blah" router.test

this works well, however since the file was written with ownership outside 
of the current user, i get the following error:

cvs commit: cannot change mode of file router.test: Operation not 
permitted
cvs commit: cannot change mode of file router.test: Operation not 
permitted

i understand how this is causing an error, however the rcs files seem to 
be updated correctly, and the files being owner/group as nobody/nobody is 
fine. is there a way to simply quiet down cvs on this note? or am i 
missing a problem that may cause issues?

thanks -charles
