Count us as another location that does this very thing. The auditors informed me that we had to secure certain DBC views because,
well, people didn't need them to do their jobs. The scenario they dreamed up was that someone could look in the DBC views, find the names
and privileges of other users, and then try to log on with those other user ID's. This struck me as extremely far-fetched, but I had to
comply anyhow.
