When I made my fist steps onto Linux terrain eleven years ago I learnt
that hosts.equiv and rlogin should not be used for security reasons.
I've never ever set up hosts.equiv on any machine and never ever used
rlogin anywhere. Are you sure these facilities are properly enabled on
the machine you're using?

As for QLI, it's a very old tool dating back to InterBase's pre-SQL
days, and, as you might have guessed, I've never used it. It doesn't
get mentioned a lot neither on this list nor on the devel list:

list%3Anet.sourceforge.lists.firebird-devel

The IB 6.0 PDF manuals don't mention QLI at all. Helen's book from 2004
mentions QLI on pages 454, 936, 1030 and 1037.

Found a syntax reference and an article:

For SQL, use the isql utility. Sorry in case you knew all that.
