Not bothering with the asbestos suit, but still expecting some flamage.

On a fresh install of OpenBSD 4.4 current as of 08-11-14, I created my
own user with group of wheel, and secondary group of wsrc.  Login is
set as "staff".

/etc/sudoers is set to allow members of wheel to execute it after
entering the password or within the standard time after the last sudo.
"$cd /usr; sudo cvs -d/cvs get src" was executed after mounting
a network share of cvsync copy of the cvs repository.

When I go to /etc/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/ to execute "$config GENERIC"
it errors out saying I don't have permission to create ../compile/
GENERIC

Checking the owner/group/permissions on my source tree, it's root (as
expected) wsrc (as expected) and rw-r--r--. Okay... the wsrc group only
has read permissions, that would explain why my user can't execute the
config command. Section 2 of man release shows a '$' as the prompt
character for the config command. Doesn't this mean that a member of
wsrc should be able to configure a kernel?
