A client of ours had a really old version of firebird installed (think
it was a yaffil variant). I wanted to move them over to 1.5.2, but there
was no uninstall info associated with the old version. So, I moved all
the files and deleted all entries to do with it from the registry.
Maybe hacking at the registry wasn't the best of plans, but it's done now :(

Anyway, I installed 1.5.2 and it seemed fine with one exception: gsec
requires the security database to be specified with the host when it's
run (-database localhost:c:\firebird\security.fdb).

The problem is that they randomly are getting problems connecting to
firebird. The app which I write works fine for a while, then throws
errors about not being able to connect to the database.

I'm certain that it's not a problem with the app as they've been running
it for quite some time with no problems.

Anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be?

Thanks,
JD
