Thankyou helen,

i now have successfully created a blank database in ubuntu.
with your information and the information I found in
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/permissions

Fantastic,

now onto my next task creating a UDF using lazarus
linking to ib_util.so in ubuntu.

This should be fun as well.

As I cannot find any information anywhere on creating a UDF
in linux using lazarus.

On we forge.

Kind Regards,

Robert.
