[GRASS-user] Possible to switch off permissions check of mapsets?
And straight on to another question: Is there a way of switching of the permissions check when opening a mapset? It prevents me from opening mapsets that are mounted on different filesystems as the grass installation. E.g. if I try to open a mapset located on a remote directory (mounted using fuse) in my local Ubuntu grass6.4 version fails with: ERROR: MAPSET PERMANENT - permission denied Any solution to this would be much appreciated.

I totally agree with you. Especially for the 1 machine with dual boot set-up. Unfortunately, core developers are of different opinion: [Fwd: Re: GRASS permission issue] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/39132/focus=39146 Hope if more come in we could convince them...

In any of the current SVN versions, setting the environment variable GRASS_SKIP_MAPSET_OWNER_CHECK to any non-empty string will suppress the check. -- Glynn Clements gl...@gclements.plus.com ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Regards. Tim, I have never ever had such a problem -- it always was in the end a permission issue on the operating system world. That is, one has to properly mount the drive/filesystem he wants to use under its own user-id (at least in Linux) and there will be no issue.

Yes, but what for the people who wanna rely on the precompiled packages? And this could be a switch in the .grassrc or elsewhere. ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

Glynn: In any of the current SVN versions, setting the environment variable GRASS_SKIP_MAPSET_OWNER_CHECK to any non-empty string will suppress the check. (that also includes 6.4.3-final by the way) Tim: Yes, but what for the people who wanna rely on the precompiled packages? And this could be a switch in the .grassrc or elsewhere. it still works at run time. you can make it locally permanent on a single user setup with: echo export GRASS_SKIP_MAPSET_OWNER_CHECK=true ~/.grass.bashrc As with anything else, be sure to extra take care when disabling safety mechanisms.
