[GRASS-user] gislock: Permission denied

[Martin Wegmann]

I redid it with the new spearfish6 dataset:

>grass61 /data1/grassdb/spearfish60/PERMANENT/
>Cleaning up temporary files.....
>ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set
>Starting GRASS ...
>///.gislock: Permission denied
>ERROR: /usr/local/grass-6.1.cvs/etc/lock:

>allowed.

what astonished me is that installing fresh GRASS cvs and an untouched 
location/mapset still results in that error message. 

I updated my db 'updatedb' and did locate *gislock but still no entry. 

Does GRASS create a hidden settings/history file somewhere which feeds the old 
information to a newly installed version?
