I guess "Elend" is your computer's name - I have those files, too
(of course, with my own computer name). Seems to be just outdated
lock files - I will just delete them after some weeks... didn't
make myself too many thoughts about this.

No isql error here. Works fine.

changeDBAPassword seems to have disappeared indeed while moving
the FB files from /opt to /usr. But as far as I remember, it
didn't work correctly before either :-)

Anyway, I'm using http://www.ibexpert.com/ for such things as
