Is this a denial of service? A remote user can connect and create as many

operation? How would the admin even know the name of the table to drop?

If I connect locally as user "postgres" and I can successfully create and
see the table.

Is it normal behaviour that user "postgres" must first create the tables
for them to be useable?

After more testing I found futher strange behavior. After locally
user "postgres" creates any table in the database, any remote users can
then create any new table, and it isn't "phantom" (can see it/use it).

Is this desirable and/or expected behavior? It doesn't seem to me that it
is.
