Hello,

I'm having trouble getting OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 (via JayBird 2.1) to
talk to Firebird 1.5.3. I'm currently trying to just access the
sample database using the following URL

jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/employee.fdb

I can connect from isql using

connect localhost:employee.fdb;

so it seems like the database and network service settings are
correct and the problem exists either with Java (1.5.0) or JayBird.
I saw somewhere that an issue exists with Firebird modifying the
file permissions on /etc/services and that blocking the JRE network
stack, but that looks correct to me.

Could someone please advise? I really don't want to have to resort
to using MySQL for this project!

Thanks,

Eron
