I'm just evaluating FB 1.5 and FIBPlus for an upcoming product I must
develop. Now I see three very serious problem with this combination,
which makes it unusable if it isn't solvable. Here they are:

1. FB uses a central user security database. I think I will get much
of problems if my application gets installed on a system where FB
already is installed and configured for anyone elses applications.
That meens it has overriden the SYSDBA password and as such my
application will not be able to add or modify any user rights for my
aplications need. My application should be a "null" configuration
solution, where the users don't should do anything on the DB server
configuration. They are normal "idiotic" users who have no idea of
DB servers. How is this problem handled by others of you?

2. For security reasons I want to install the FB server on a
diffrent port than the standard 3050. Does someone know how I can
setup a second FB instance which runs on a different port, if on the
target system already a FB server is installed? With 1.5 it should
somehow be possible to run two instances of FB but I didn't find
anything about how this can be done exactly. I have tryed the to
start two FBServer.exe with different -p switch, but as soon I start
the second instance it says that it can't be started as already a
server is running.

3. Does FB 1.5 have any problems with an already installed Interbase
Server? So is it installable on such a system at all?
