cPanel subdomains automatically redirect by default?

Do cPanel subdomains automatically redirect by default? I just created this subdomain name:

http://hurlbert.xona.com/

and it redirects to

http://www.xona.com/hurlbert/

Does this redirect always take place by default?

What's funny is that I want this redirect to take place, as I do not want to use the subdomain at all! I actually only want to use the http://www.xona.com/hurlbert/ URL with a unique FTP login that has only access to the hurlbert folder. I did this by creating the hurlbert subdomain knowing that I could create an FTP account that would have that exact restriction. So it worked out well!

i guess so.......

I've not seen that myself before unless the directory physically did not exist on the account when the subdomain was created is the only thing I can think of that might cause that.

BTW: you could have also created another ftp user account and specified the directory hurlbert as that ftp accounts login dir.
