According to
http://www.firebirdsql.org/manual/ufb-cs-embedded.html#ufb-cs-embedded-linux
you need to have a valid security2.fdb for authentication with embedded
on Linux (I believe this should be in the same location as
libfbembed.so). So on Linux you will need to use a username and password
to retrieve the connection with embedded.
