Hi, I'm having trouble connecting to Firebird using 'localhost' syntax.

From isql, "connect /opt/firebird/examples/employee.fdb;" works, but
"connect localhost:/opt/firebird/examples/employee.fdb;" does not. The
error message is "Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902. Unable to complete
network request to host "localhost". -Failed to establish a
connection. -Connection refused."

This is a new installation of Firebird 1.5.2.4731-0.amd64 Classic Server
and 64-bit Suse 9.1 linux on an Athlon 64. The firewall is turned off.
There is an entry in hosts.equiv for "localhost.localdomain", and in
hosts for "127.0.0.1 locahost'. "ssh localhost" works, as does "ping
localhost", so it looks like this is an FB problem. I'm not very
experienced with linux, though, so I may be wrong.

Any help or ideas will be greatly appreciated,

Steve
