There are bugs around isc4.gdb on 1.0.2 on Linux. Try logging in as root,
restore original isc4.gdb and DO NOT use the -u <USER> -p <PASSWORD> params.
You won't be able to see users & roles with third party tools, but otherwise
everything will work. "GSEC" works, provided you are root user(?). I don't
think changeDBAPassword works at all, but I'm not sure of that.

Subject: [ib-support] Problems installing Firebird 1.0.2 on Linux


Hi,

I am trying to set up Firebird 1.0.2 on Linux, and I am having this problem:

[root@lshift01 etc]# cd ~john/
[root@lshift01 john]# rpm -ivh FirebirdSS-1.0.2.908-0.i386.rpm
Preparing... ###########################################
[100%]

Starting Firebird server: [ OK ]
[root@lshift01 john]# changeDBAPassword.sh
Please enter current password for SYSDBA user: masterkey
Please enter new password for SYSDBA user: XXXXX
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database
administrator to set up a Firebird login.

[root@lshift01 john]# uname -a
Linux lshift01.he.gxn.net 2.4.18-14 #1 Wed Sep 4 12:13:11 EDT 2002 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[root@lshift01 john]#

I've tried reinstalling from scratch and nothing seems to make any
difference. I've installed Firebird on other machines and not seen
this problem. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

John Newby.
