Subject: Re: Linux 64 FB localhost connect trouble (re-posted from Support)

Thanks, but I just double-checked and that doesn't seem to be it. iql behaves the same whether I'm logged in as firebird or as root - I can connect using "connect /path/db.fdb" syntax but not using "connect localhost:/path/db.fdb" syntax. This is getting frustrating...
