Hi there

If you've downloaded the rpm, you can install it by doing (as root):

# rpm -Uvh FirebirdCS-1.5.0.3477-0.RC3.i686.rpm

The sysdba password will be written to the file
"/usr/local/firebird/SYSDBA.password".
(I think).

To use isql, etc. you need to set the environment variables ISC_USER and
ISC_PASSWORD. If you're using bash you can do something like this:

$ export ISC_USER="SYSDBA"
$ export ISC_PASSWORD="MASTERKEY"

Hope this helps

Kind regards
Gary
