[GRASS-user] Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper: strange sudo hints printed at startup

[Maciej Sieczka]

Hi,

When I start Grass 6.1, 5.5 or 6.01 on Ubuntu Dapper I receive strange
hints about using sudo for some purpose. No matter if I start Grass with
-gui or -text. I don't understand why I would need sudo for anything
with Grass.

Example:

	Welcome to GRASS 6.1.cvs (2006)
	GRASS homepage:                          http://grass.itc.it/
	This version running thru:               Bash Shell (/bin/bash)
	Help is available with the command:      g.manual -i
	See the licence terms with:              g.version -c
	Start the graphical user interface with: gis.m &
	When ready to quit enter:                exit
	To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo
	<command>".
	See "man sudo_root" for details.

	To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo

		those look strange!

What could it be? I can reproduce this strange behavior on other Dapper
box, but I never had such thing on previous Ubuntu (Breezy) version,
though I'm installing Grass the same way I used to (building from
source, --prefix=/usr/local).

I tried adding 'set -x' debugging flag at the top of
$GISBASE/etc/Init.sh, but the output still doesn't explain why the sudo
tip could be printed, here goes few lat lines of the output:
