<sigh> no, don't change the parameter names in firebird.conf. I hereby
plead guilty to accidentally typing Udf in uppercase AND omitting the
RESTRICT keyword.

What *matters* is the parameter value.

UdfAccess = Restrict UDF

If you had UDFs in other places as well, you might have

UdfAccess = Restrict UDF;/home/firebird/

If you use the value FULL you must supply the roots for all locations where
UDFs might be found; and, in the database, you must include the full path
and filename of the UDF library in the UDF declaration. This makes the
database non-portable.

BTW, why don't you read the notes in firebird.conf about how the parameters
work? Start at the top of the file.
