If by "entries" you mean "CVS/Entries", you're not supposed to modify
those files by hand, you're supposed to let CVS do it for you - they'd
get modified by CVS if a new file got checked in, but, unless you have
commit privileges, you're not going to be checking the file in yourself.

What does "cvs diff Makefile.am" report?  I've never seen those errors,
so there's probably something incorrectly changed in the Makefile.am
file.
