Re: postgres db permissions

Thanks for clearing that up.

I seems that any database that gets created has "GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO public" by default.  These are all clean installs.    I have found this on Ubuntu 9.3, The Postgres 9.3 and 9.4 deb packages.

Default postgres from ubuntu, is the version I am testing on.
It seems to be the default install, though we might be a patch or two behind.
$ dpkg -l | grep postgres
ii  postgresql-9.3                                9.3.5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1                amd64        object-relational SQL database, version 9.3 server

I found this problem on a install from the postgres repo
$ dpkg -l postgresql-9.3
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

Yes, though that should not be the default. See here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/sql-grant.html

PostgreSQL grants default privileges on some types of objects to PUBLIC.
No privileges are granted to PUBLIC by default on tables, columns,
schemas or tablespaces. For other types, the default privileges granted
to PUBLIC are as follows: CONNECT and CREATE TEMP TABLE for databases;
EXECUTE privilege for functions; and USAGE privilege for languages. The
object owner can, of course, REVOKE both default and expressly granted
privileges. (For maximum security, issue the REVOKE in the same
transaction that creates the object; then there is no window in which
another user can use the object.) Also, these initial default privilege
settings can be changed using the ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command.

So how exactly was Postgres installed and where there any scripts run
after the install?
