Hi Norman

Yes I have tried after I noticed that option. I log on to the database
server as root (OpenSuse)

Command 1: gbak -svc /db/test.gdb /db/test.fbk. This works. Same with
restore.
Command 2: gbak -svc /db/test.gdb /db/test.fbk -user tst -password pwd. This
doesn't and complains about invalid firebird user (tst and pwd is valid).
Same with restore.

Cheers
Huan
