Testing on Windows, the Firebird client makes no attempt to read any
databases.conf (checked with procmon). As far as I can tell,
databases.conf is purely for configuring Firebird server and has no
influence on configuring the client.

Why do you think that databases.conf can also be used to configure the
client? And if it should, but doesn't seem read it on Windows, is that a
bug?
