Speaking of security.fdb how secure are my firebird databases... let's
say that someone has access on my server where a firebird database is
installed but not on the databases, of course the SYSDBA password is
modified. Now can this guy bring his own security.fdb, delete the existing
one on the server and replace with his and therefore access my database?

It shoule be sufficient to replace the file security.fdb - that's
where the passwords are stored.
