Yes, we _should_ be doing this security stuff when the database is built. Our procedures require it. I need to verify that it has been done; that the production DBAs didn't make a mistake or accidentally miss a step.

This is auditing; ie confirmation that stuff has been done properly. I'm not enforcing or changing things.

      The truth is the truth, and opinion just opinion.  But what is what?
       My employer pays to ignore my opinions; you get to do it for free.
