Re: [cobalt-users] User: Default

["Rob" <dillybar1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i too noticed the user while messing with the postgres database.  i wouldnt worry about it.  i've
done alot of modifications to the control panel scripts and never did i see a mention of the user
'default', so it has no special privileges as far as i can tell.  it's probably just leftover and
should have been removed.
