Hello all,

I searched and didn't find this anywhere, so figured I'd write it
myself. I am running Firebird Classic Server on a dual processor OS X
box, and in the transition from 10.3 to 10.4, Apple is moving daemon
startup info the the launchd architecture from the more traditional
inetd (or xinetd) style.

After a bit of fiddling around, I finally figured it out. After
installing Firebird to /Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework, you
will need to place the following file in
/Library/LaunchDaemons/gds_db.plist

If anyone needs it and the wrapping gets mangled in the post, let me
know and I will email it directly to you.

Thanks!

Hubert Hickman
