Hello Jeff,

J> I install Firebird Classic 1.5 from an rpm onto a fedora 3 core system.
J> All was going well.

J> I restarted the system and now for the life of me I cannot start the
J> firebird server.

J> i tried
J> /opt/firebird/fb_inet_server

J> nothing seems to work.
J> I uninstalled the rpm and reinstalled with no luck

J> the firebird.log gives me
J> INET/inet_error: read errno = 88

J> any ideas . . .anybody?
J> I am stuck.
Just try to make a connection to a database. xinetd has to launch your
classic FB *process* on that connection. Don't forget to use the
server name in the connection string: localhost or whatever.
