Hi,

> Trouble is, if you use gbak then you can see parameters (eg name and

you don't need to. You could set the username and the password using
environment variables:

#! /bin/sh

export ISC_USER=sysdba
export ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey
/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resources/bin/isql
127.0.0.1:database

If you set this script 700 you can only execute and read it as root -
no user can see the password or the username - and no user can
execute it.

CU,

Chris
