--------------------------------------------------------- Firebird is now installed. Before start the server ensure that the following line exists in /etc/services: gds_db 3050/tcp #InterBase Database Remote Protocol If you use inetd then add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf gds_db stream tcp nowait firebird %%PREFIX%%/bin/fb_inet_server fb_inet_server And finally restart inetd. It is STRONGLY recommended that you change the SYSDBA password with: % gsec -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey GSEC> modify SYSDBA -pw newpassword GSEC> quit before doing anything serious with Firebird. See documentation in %%DOCSDIR%%/ for more information. ---------------------------------------------------------
