Security on Linux can be a little strange at times. Personally I just log in via
ssh as 'root' on the server and can then edit any file but this can be a
different depending on your version of Linux. Some don't enable it by default.

CreateAliasDB.sh is in the 'utils' directory under firebird and I think you have to
sudo /usr/lib64/firebird/utils/CreateAliasDB.sh alias path/to/database/alias.fdb
Assuming that is where firebird has been installed ;)
