We have a minor problem with running v.support

The ownership of the file under dig_att is
converted to root and the group is converted
to daemon; V.support can not write to the file
in this state and exits with an error. It
is relatively easy to change the ownerships
but this is rather crude and irritating.
I'd appreciate the real solution.
Yikes! I thought that this bug would have been fixed ages ago.
Sounds suspiciously what I ran across last year when testing out
a new installation of GRASS. Here's the problem and solution
that we ended up using. Maybe you have the same problem.

There appears to be some incorrect information in the GRASS 4.0
Installation Guide. We discovered that when a person digitized,
the resulting files were ALWAYS owned by root, even though the
person was not logged in as root. Mark Johnson was able to talk
us through a fix, namely, where in the installation guide it says
to:
chown root */digit
it should really say:
chown grass */digit.
