I'm not sure about correct way to reach it. CVS holds permission from 
first import and it isn't possible to change it via cvs commands (at 
least i don't know how if it is possible). Maybe either chmod in CVS 
repository would help (i can't do it - i don't have access to its 
command shell) or to remove + add the file again via cvs.

There's yet other view - from Rory.

I'm +1 to change default monitrc permission to 0600, while i think 
non-NFS environment for compilation is more usual and maybe for most 
people it will be usefull to save this step. Even when you 
prepare/compile monit from NFS share, you will need to change permission 
at the end before starting monit (otherwise it will refuse to start) => 
when we stay with 0644, it will save only one step for this special case 
(NFS access).
