	GRASS looks at the ownership of the file, not just UNIX permissions.
If you want everyone to have access to a set of files, you can create a 
PERMANENT mapset and  as long as others have their MAPSETS under the same
location, they can use the raster/vector files in PERMANENT mapset.

	We have the same problem with an PC-XView (PC X Server) and I would
be glad to have few answers.
