Thanks, I'll take your advice on this and look in "info cvs" for 
ignoring of files.  I didn't know CVS did this by default; that would 
make much sense, as I did in fact do a "cvs import".

I could do that, but I'd prefer to keep my /usr/obj "secure".  I'm okay 
with using sudo, but I'll keep your tips in mind.  Thanks again.
