Hello,

When you try to connect to a server running on a Linux/Unix box,
Firebird requires a known user to the Linux/Unix system to be
used as CNCT_user or it rejects the connection to the client.

To avoid this, I have uncommented and committed the following
lines in GDS_impl.java that makes Firebird to skip the
CNCT_user verification:

user_id[n++] = 6; // CNCT_user_verification
user_id[n++] = 0;

Now, you can use a user unknown to the server system and
you only need to provide a known user to the Firebird's
security database.

Bye.
