Ok helen
If I create a connectstring and it has user,pw, and role in it - it can
be sniff and hacked. The only differnce here is I did a connect string
that just had user and pw. made my connection receive info made new
connect string and reconnected with role assigned. Now if firebird
changes this option I will make necessary changes to code. So what
difference does it make if they hack it first or last it is still
hacked.

situation that any user can access the system tables and it is on the
agenda to make it not possible. I didn't suggest it because I don't
recommend it even slightly. Use privileges as they are intended: hacks
are always risky and this one is A-rated.
