We have a product that we wish to distribute on a linux server running
firebird 1.5.x . Is there anyway to protect the passwords? When looking at the
installation scripts I noticed that the password is stores in plain text in 2
places:

1) SYSDBA.password
2) the firebird service file

We have taken great care to attempt to secure our database structure. This
would obviously make those attempts worthless.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
