I verified that FIREBIRD_TMP environment variable can be used to
control where temporary files are written. But TempDirectories in
firebird.conf seems to have no effect with or without FIREBIRD_TMP env
var set. Is TempDirectories setting broken in FB 2.5? Does it have no
effect on embedded FB version?

Also, is it safe to use FIREBIRD_LOCK env var to control where FB
writes its lock files?

Thanks,

Alec
