The 1.5 release notes are corrected in the notes for 1.5.

The proper way to invoke isql on Linux is:
cd /opt/firebird/bin
./isql -user sysdba -password ui&yrtE

(That is dot-slash-isql)

I don't know what you are trying to say here:

> password is correctly written from generated file sysdba.password not

ommitting size of letters.

cd /opt/firebird

Then...
You can look at the contents of SYSDBA.password using this command:

cat SYSDBA.password

(not ./ this time)

Write this password down. Until you change it, it is the SYSDBA password.

./heLen


It seems you need to get familiar with Linux, too. Look for a HOWTo
document on the linux sites about using the bash shell. Most of the very
basic docs for Linux are available in a lot of languages.
