Dave,
I've found that IboConsole hiccups when creating users on Fb1.5.n
I wrote a small app with Fib+ to take its place.
Because this is a development site I have several Fb servers (local Windows
XP, remote Linux and remote Win98 that is sometimes local - my desk is
monitored up). I always wotk from current machine to manage users wherever
server is. There is no need for VPN or Terminal Services to manage users.
One exception - after loading Fb onto Linux I puttied accross to get the
first SYSDBA password.
