Well I didn't exactly mean my server.. let's say I install the application
running on Firebird to a client, god knows who will be using their
systems... the maintenance guy might have access to the pc, some employees
might have access, etc... they might have access to the machine and a
litmited access to the database or no access at all...
by replacing the securify.fdb won't they take over the Firebird server? Any
directions to prevent this kind of actions?

Thanks
have a nice weekend all

Uhmm...If somebody is "inside" your server what security you expect ?
