Yes, automatically in a sense to run Firebird's 'gsec' utility during
the installation (in the background). Check out the gsec manual here:

In addition what Helen said. Also don't use SYSDBA as owner for
databases, database objects like tables, views etc ... Use your own
Firebird user for that. Makes it much easier when deploying at an
existing server installation with possibly no permission for getting
SYSDBA-like information.
