I read somewere in the documentation:-

If both client and server are running UNIX you can allow usernames access to
databases by configuring the server host to treat each client as a trusted
host..... this is done by adding the the client in the /etc/host_equiv file.
..the login or the client user must exist on the server.

Good I thought, just like PostgreSQL However when I tried the above it does
not seem to work. I tried on a Firebird servers running on redhat
7.3/suse8 linuxes with both classic and super server configurations and on
clients running suse8 Linux.

Some help would be appreciated.
