Sharing of mapsets.....

Hello,

I have several vector, site,
and raster files under a certain
mapset that I want other people
logged in as a different user
to have access to. I have used
Unix chmod, and also g.access, but
nothing seems to work. They still
get a message when entering grass
with the specific mapset chosen that
they do not have access to this mapset.
Do I really have to go in and create
a new mapset and copy all of the files
to that directory? It seems like such
a waste of space.

Any help would be appreciated,

Amy,

Have you used the g.mapsets command yet. This command allows you to add or
delete mapsets to your mapset search path. This search path exists then as
a file in your Grass home directory as SEARCH_PATH. Thus you can edit this
file directly or use the g.mapsets command to do it for you.
