Sure. But i want to setup the server right now to have it working
tomorrow morning and the admin guy is probably drinking a beer this
moment...

I changed /opt/firebird/firebird.conf to:
RemoteAuxPort = 3051

and connected to the server via ssh, openning two tunnels to my
localhost on server ports 3050 and 3051. Now i can open 'Replication
Manager' in my desktop using '127.0.0.1/3050:replication', but
Replication Server still can't connect, raising the same error above.
Shouldn't it connect?

BTW, the server is a FB Classic Server, version 1.5.1 on a Fedora 2
machine.

BTW2, i have no problem in waiting until tomorrow to solve this, but i
have many remote servers with just port 22 (SSH) opened, and i connect
to these FB servers using a SSH tunnel to my localhost. How i don't
use events anymore in my applications, i didn't notice this problem
before, but i'd like to know why this is not working, because some
thirdy party applications may require it, like IBReplicator does.

Thanks.
