This is a known problem, I remember raising it on hackers several
months ago.
If there was a 7.2.2 release it would be wonderful for this to be knocked
out, too.
Is it possible to address this before the 7.3 release or is this
concern no longer a problem in the 7.3 branch?
It's fixed in CVS. Databases are now created using CREATE DATABASE xxx
WITH OWNER yyy: this technique can also be used by the DBA in the
first place, avoiding the need to manually add and then remove
CREATEDB privs from the new user account.
This is a wonderful thing for those of us running postgresql in a hosting
environment.
