Thanks helen.
I got it working, just was about to email the group. I did that and
restarted the server. I solved one issue and had an other.
The problem really is caused when the file security.fdb is copied over
from the CD to disk, it puts a read only property.
The db connection or gsec would not work and returns "no read-write
permissions on the database "...All works as soon as I manually turn the
readonly off.
While I can do that programatically, iam just curious to know why I get
no read-write permissions. I do have read-only.
Does firebird server write something to the security database.
Thanks !
