Yup.. But it's been around quite a while and I don't know of any horrible problems with it -- that said I've not actually tried it on OpenBSD (different mindset) but would be surprised if it wasn't the same. Sure, it may not be the smartest thing to allow user Y to create a table in my schema BUT if I decide to reverse that decision (for whatever reason) I want to be able to drop the junk user Y littered around my schema along with the user even if I'm not allowed to look at it, use it or otherwise fiddle around with it. But if I'm the only one who feels this way, so be it. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
