Hi, all
I just discovered today that the current version of GRASS is automatically
setting permissions on new mapsets to drwxrwxrwx, overriding our umask setting.
I know that older version of GRASS used to set locations to drwxrwxrwx amd
mapsets to drwxr_xr_x; is this a bug or a change in philosophy? Either way,
does anyone know where this is set in the source code, so that I can change it?
Many thanks for any assistance!

I get the same results with both 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 under Solaris 2.3

I checked my umask in GIS.sh, and it is correct there.
So, that takes us to $GISBASE/etc/gis_set and src/general/gis/gis_set.c
Bingo! "umask(0);" on line 70. I remove this line and my shell's
umask was obeyed.
Thanks for pointing this out--a service to us all!
I'll submit a bug report.
