the file /etc/xinetd.d/firebird looks like this:

# default: on
# description: FirebirdSQL server
#
# Be careful when commenting out entries in this file.
# Active entry should be first as some scripts
# (CSchangeRunUser.sh in particular) use sed scripting
# to modify it.
service gds_db
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
# user = @FBRunUser@
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/local/firebird/bin/fb_inet_server
# server = ${exec_prefix}/sbin/gds_inet_server
# server = @exec_bindir@/gds_inet_server
disable = no
}

Is there something wrong with it ?

Thanks,
Markus
