Hi,
When I start Grass 6.1, 5.5 or 6.01 on Ubuntu Dapper I receive strange
hints about using sudo for some purpose. No matter if I start Grass with
-gui or -text. I don't understand why I would need sudo for anything
with Grass.
Example:
Welcome to GRASS 6.1.cvs (2006)
GRASS homepage: http://grass.itc.it/
This version running thru: Bash Shell (/bin/bash)
Help is available with the command: g.manual -i
See the licence terms with: g.version -c
Start the graphical user interface with: gis.m &
When ready to quit enter: exit
To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo
<command>".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

those look strange!

What could it be? I can reproduce this strange behavior on other Dapper
box, but I never had such thing on previous Ubuntu (Breezy) version,
though I'm installing Grass the same way I used to (building from
source, --prefix=/usr/local).
I tried adding 'set -x' debugging flag at the top of
$GISBASE/etc/Init.sh, but the output still doesn't explain why the sudo
tip could be printed, here goes few lat lines of the output:
