seeing tables across databases

[Jodi Kanter]

I am working with a colleague who is using postgres to create a number
of databases. On his system when he views his tables (\d) he can see
tables from other databases - not all of them but some. He cannot access
them as the user he is signed in as because he does not have privileges,
but he can see them. When he dropped that database and then recreated it
(without making tables) he could then only see those few tables from the
other database.
I had him run a revoke all on public first but that did not correct it.
Strangly enough he cannot see many of the other tables from other
databases.
I have several databases on my system and do not have this problem. Is
there some setting that I am not aware of that could explain this
situation? thoughts?
Thanks
Jodi Kanter

The tables visible before adding new tables --
presumably these are the tables present in the
template being used to create the database?
