Hello,
I am trying to run bin\fbserver.exe -a -n from a custom directory, from
the command prompt. The server runs. The directory contains suitable
firebird.conf and security2.fdb. It works correctly under Windows XP,
but on Win7 all connections are denied with a "cannot attach to password
database" error message. If I start fbserver with elevation, the problem
disappears.
I should add that this is with Firebird 2.0.3, and that I am setting the
FIREBIRD environment variable before running fbserver.

Is it a requirement that fbserver is run with administrator privileges
in this scenario? That would be quite unfortunate in my case.

Does anyone have any suggestion about where to look or which tests to
perform?

Thanks
