I am trying to get firebird classic server running on my gentoo box.
I get the following firebird.log :

rr4linux Sun Mar 12 21:56:42 2006
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111

rr4linux Sun Mar 12 22:12:30 2006
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111

rr4linux Sun Mar 12 22:12:32 2006
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 111

It seems to run okay as embedded. I have added localhost to hosts.equiv
I have tried to use the tutorial at :
http://sxs.thexdershome.com/internet_serving/firebird102.html but it
has not helped.

Any one familiar with firebird on linux? This has got me puzzled as I
get the same errors on my ubuntu box.

my xinetd.d/firebird file is:

# default: on
# description: FirebirdSQL server
#
# Be careful when commenting out entries in this file.
# Active entry should be first as some scripts
# (CSchangeRunUser.sh in particular) use sed scripting
# to modify it.
service gds_db
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = firebird
# These lines cause problems with Windows XP SP2 clients

server = /opt/firebird/bin/fb_inet_server
disable = no
