Database permissions Marc Dirix <marc[at]electronics-design[dot]nl> 12-02-2009
Hello,

Is there a reason the default permissions on a newly created database is 
read "R" for /all/ virtual servers?
This has 2 disadvantages
1) If the site-admin neglects to review permissions a potontial 
malicious user can get data out of a database
through rxml code.
2) A site-admin has to manually click "N" for /every/ virtual server to 
change permissions.

I'd say a good default is to have permissions set to N, so the 
site-admin is both triggered to review this setting
because the database cannot be reached, and then can set it for the 
appropriate virtual server.

Regards,

Marc
