I run them as both ;)

If you run server as root user it can pose a security risk, since then
the server process has all the rights as root user. Some misformed UDF
function can make hell on your system (in theory). Also, using external
files, a user can damage any file of your system, since root has rights
for every file/directory.

It's more secure to run server as "firebird" user.
