Subject remote connection syntax
Author Michael Wiedmann
While trying to migrate our application on a new server I experience the
following problem:

If I try to add a new user immediately after installing Superserver
(1.52.4731) on XP Prof. I only succeed _if_ I use remote connection
syntax like:

>gsec -user sysdba -password secret \
-database localhost:c:\programme\firebird\firebird_1_5\security.fdb
GSEC> ...

On our "old" Win 2003 server system (slow hardware) - and on a Win 2000
test system - I don't even have to give a "-database ..." option!

After creating a new user, this user has to use remote connection syntax
- combined with an alias name from alias.conf - too to create/use a
database.

What am I doing wrong?
