Thanks Edward:

No, I just checked. From gsec help:

available commands:
adding a new user:
add <name> [ <parameter> ... ]

available parameters:
-pw <password>

and the display command shows:

GSEC> display
user name uid gid full name
-------------------------------------------------------------
SYSDBA 0 0
LARRYL 0 0
GSEC>

Hmmm, is that UID and GID OK?

And, the the "CREATE DATABASE" SQL did create an
FDB file. So I'm thinking the new name and password
are in the security database.

And I've taken another double check of the user
variables in the control panel's "Environmental
Variables" and the three variables look OK to me.

Unless they belong in the "System variables"
group. I've put them in "User variables for larryl".

Do I need to do anything with grant tables? I
remember from long ago MySQL wanted those defined.

I appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks
Larry
