If really required it should be an simple modification in jrd.cpp.
Just remove the checks for network drives (ISC_check_if_remote) and
recompile the server.

Beware: Firebird might damage databases opened from several machines!
Super-Server should prevent this by exclusively locking the file -
this should block other machines from accessing it.
