Isn't it a security hole ?
On my interbase client I can create a database on the NT server with :
severname:c:\test.dll

It is easy to create a database with these names:
servername:c:\winnt\system32\kernel32.dll !!!!!!!!
or servername:c:\winnt\profiles\administrator\ntuser.dat !!!

With the administrator password (just the right to create a database) of
interbase it's easy to crash a NT server ?!
