We don't use the CentOS 6.x series yet and we aren't on 2.5... But, I
would suggest you check /etc/hosts and make sure you have an entry to
127.0.0.1 for localhost and more importantly an entry with your IP address
and hostname.

We have had issues where RedHat doesn't like to put in your hostname entry
but Firebird doesn't work properly without it.
