Saiyrine,

i have the same problem with v 1.5.6.5026.
If run the script /opt/firebird/bin/changeDBAPassword.sh and show this message.
“Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login.”. My problem is with this xinetd…won’t read the /opt/firebird/SYSDBA.password (user and password are correct) or firebird.conf.

To solve..in my case. I run GSEC
/opt/firebird/bin/gsec

In console of GSEC:

~ modify sysdba -pw masterkey
~ exit

And restart the service. Try this.

Recently I installed in Ubuntu 10.04 server and it’s works.
Sorry for my english…

This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf

I just getting this error, “Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login.”, so I can’t do anything.

What can I do with that?

1 - at the part where you gunzip the template….in shich directory am i supposed to be in? my home directory?

2 - if not where.

3 - can you provide steps by step example how to create databse.

4 - i followed you steps, but i cant make anything, its saying im not allowed to.

5 - do i run the interactive prog with sudo por not?

6 - how do i become the firebord user when using firebird? do i do it within firebord at the conn> prompt? or at the linux prompt.

your guide is not clear and i am having problems getting it to work as expected.
