You don't have to use shared folders with Firebird. Or better, from
an security POV, avoid to use them. Users doesn't need to have rights
on database files, the IB/FB (or you using Firebird?) server process
needs to have proper rights. If IB/FB is running as service, then
usually this is the SYSTEM user.

Again, do yourself a favour, and don't use shared folders with IB/FB
database files. Simply use the proper TCP/IP connect string at the
client, specifying the full absolute path *at* the server, or if you
are using Firebird 1.5, then you might have a look at the new
database aliasing feature.
