>From within GRASS, only the owner of a mapset is allowed to start a
GRASS session in this mapset, i.e. only the owner of a mapset has
write permissions to this mapset. But a new mapset being a folder in
the file system is created with mode 0777, thus granting write
permissions to all. I suggest to change mode from 0777 to 0755 in
G_mkdir() and add mode = 0755 in gis_set.py. Any objections?
