default privs for public

According to the "Guide to SQL Reference, DEC 1991", when creating a table, "all users who have been granted Connect privilege to a database have all access privileges (except Alter, Index and References) to the new table." Doesn't seem to be true. I create a db, create a boatload of tables. Have NOT granted public any rights (explicitly). Yet the following: select * from systabauth;[snip a few rows] informix public 23 s------- msddba public 100 su-idx-- msddba public 101 su-idx-- msddba public 102 su-idx-- msddba public 103 su-idx-- [snip some more] select * from sysusers; username usertype priority password msddba D 9 1 row(s) retrieved. We're using OnLine 5.0.5. -- ^^^^Cascades^^^^
