Hi Folks:

Let me start by thanking all who have contributed to Firebird
and IBPP.

I'm finishing up development on a Windows app that uses the
Firebird 1.5.3 embedded server. It's been working great.

I want to give the user the option of running this in client
server mode, so they can share their data with others in their
organization. The OS I'd like to use for the server is Solaris
10 on for X86, and because this particular machine has a single
processor, I'm trying to get the Firebird Super Server running.

"pkgadd -d Firebird-SS-1.5.2.4731-0-SolX86.pkg" finishes with
"Installation of <FB2SI> was successful".

From its "bin" directory, Firebird is started with:

"./fbmgr.bin -start -forever"

Nothing is displayed for about 10 seconds, then:

check $FIREBIRD/firebird.log file for errors
can not start server

The log file has the following:

slowpoke (Client) Sat May 27 13:10:14 2006
INET/inet_error: connect errno = 146

slowpoke (Client) Sat May 27 13:10:15 2006
/usr/local/firebird/bin/fbguard: guardian starting bin/fbserver


slowpoke (Server) Sat May 27 13:10:15 2006
64 bit i/o support is on.

slowpoke (Server) Sat May 27 13:10:15 2006
Open file limit increased from 256 to 65536

slowpoke (Server) Sat May 27 13:10:16 2006
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for firebird

slowpoke (Server) Sat May 27 13:10:16 2006
SERVER/process_packet: connection rejected for firebird

The last message is repeated 9 times over 2 seconds.

After those error messages, "ps -ef | grep fb" shows two
firebird processes:

firebird 912 1 0 13:10:15 pts/7 0:00
/usr/local/firebird/bin/fbguard -f
firebird 913 912 0 13:10:15 pts/7 0:01 /usr/local/firebird/bin/fbserver

An attempt to use ISQL:

$ isql
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> CREATE DATABASE 'new.fdb';
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -923

connection rejected by remote interface
SQL> quit;
$

I've never used ISQL before, and haven't set up any
security yet. So perhaps ISQL is behaving as it is
supposed to when confronted by someone who doesn't have
a clue.

Anyway, it's obvious that I don't know what I'm doing.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
Larry
