When you built it from ports, the port gave you all the lines to add to
inetd.conf for you.

You can find them again in
'/usr/ports/databases/firebird-server/files/pkg-message.in'

The output looks identical to this:
---------------------------------------------------------
Firebird is now installed.

Before start the server ensure that the following line exists in
/etc/services:

gds_db 3050/tcp #InterBase Database Remote Protocol

And add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf

gds_db stream tcp nowait firebird
/usr/local/sbin/fb_inet_server fb_inet_server

And finally restart inetd.

It is STRONGLY recommended that you change the SYSDBA
password with:

% gsec -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey
GSEC> modify SYSDBA -pw newpassword
GSEC> quit

before doing anything serious with Firebird.


All there, nice and neatly laid out, and easy to follow.

Nige.
