Hrm. For me:

$ sudo yum install firebird-superserver
$ sudo service firebird-superserver start
Starting Firebird server [default] [ OK ]
[dwheeler@foo ~]$ isql-fb -user SYSDBA -password masterkey
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> create database 'localhost:/var/lib/firebird/data/foo.fdb';
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 08004
connection rejected by remote interface

:-(

Will try another box and some of the other stuff Helen suggested.
