The assumption I made there was that the user has access to the
security.fdb, there is a simple guide
(http://www.fbtalk.net/viewtopic.php?id=210) for setting up FB on Windows
Server/XP which includes details on setting permissions on folders, if it
helps.

This depends on where the server is and who has access to it.
