Yes. With the sysdba/password combo entered into FlameRobin, it will
allow me to quiery the server for server version and user management:
I'm able to create/delete user accounts, but not access that
employee.fdb. There are no firewall instances running on either client
or server. The Linux server is running xinetd instead of inetd
though... could THAT have any relevance? I'm befuddled, so grabbing at
straws here! ;)
