yes that's a security reason and a RedHat rule
don't start service automaticaly after install

use as root :
/sbin/service firebird-superserver start

If you want to have firebird Superserver started at each boot, as root :
chkconfig --level 345 firebird-superserver on

symlinks see for example a ls -la /usr/bin/isql-fb

for classic you would have bin-classic and again with symlinks in bin/
