Are you sure you installed Super Server ?

super server should have fbserver and fbguardian process running

[root@server root]# ps -ef | grep fb
firebird 433 1 0 May25 ? 00:00:00 /opt/firebird/bin/fbguard -f
firebird 434 433 0 May25 ? 00:02:20 /opt/firebird/bin/fbserver
[root@server root]#

Yeah, If you have no open ports and a listening daemon you will not connect
[root@server root]# nmap localhost -p 3050

Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
Port State Service
3050/tcp open unknown

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1 second

if you dont specify the port number nmap will search most common ports,
and 3050 are not one of those.
[root@server root]# nmap localhost

Starting nmap V. 3.00 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
(The 1593 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
443/tcp open https
515/tcp open printer
1521/tcp open oracle
2401/tcp open cvspserver
3306/tcp open mysql

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3 seconds

See ? the above nmap was on the same machine as the first, but does not
show port 3050

try to telnet on port 3050, you should get connected if the server is
running and listening.

note that if you have some kind of firewall, you could be unable to
connect form remote machines.

If you installed Classic Server, the xinet.d daemon take care to
listening and to star the process.
