Subject Re: Security.fdb corrupted

When this problem occurs, clients usually saw the error code is 333.

I have a question about the firebird.log file. We are working with the
version 1.5.0.4306, and in those computers where the error occurs, we
didn't find this file. Is there a configuration to create the file?

About the version, we tried to use the version 2.0 and this error occurs.

I was thinking about this problem and I remember We don't use firebird
guardian. The programs we developed starts firebird using the file
"firebird.exe" with the option -a enabled, if this isn't running. When
the computer is turn off, the server isn't stopped. Because of this,
the security.fdb can corrupt?
