batzee_33, How do you install your firebird? Is binary , do you
compile yourself or emerge? Maybe you need to do what "ebuild
firebird config" does. Basically these are what ebuild-firebird-config
executes:-

1. echo "gds_db 3050/tcp" >> /etc/services
2. echo "localhost" >> /etc/hosts.equiv
3. echo `hostname` >> /etc/hosts.equiv
4. chown firebird:firebird /etc/firebird/{isc4.*,security.*}

for more info see the /usr/portage/db-dev/firebird-<your version>.ebuild
