The linux "expert" started with the mapping (search path issues in
windows speak) and later did the permissions. He used strace to see
what the program couldn't find.

I did a completely new VM and started with the permissions. I also had
to manually configure xinetd to run. After that, the system functions
properly.

My next question is when is the service going to be renamed in the
xinetd config file from "gds_db"????

What would happen if I manually changed it to "fbds" for Firebird
Database Service
or fds_db for that matter.

The most difficult part is a completely newbie linux user that has never
install FB on linux doing the install. ;-)


Thanks.
