Write access to security database required when using the embedded client
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-5081
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-5081
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API / Client Library
Affects Versions: 2.5.3
Environment: Debian Jessie, Firebird LI-V2.5.3.26778 from
firebird2.5-classic-common and libfbembed2.5 packages
Reporter: Vadim Zeitlin
Priority: Minor
For some reason, the file /var/lib/firebird/2.5/system/security2.fdb must allow
_writing_ to be able to use embedded Firebird at all. If it has read-only
permissions, all operations fail, including "gsec -display" or "echo CREATE...
| isql-fb" or opening the connection using the API.
This can be worked around, of course, by making all the users members of the
"firebird" group and using 660 permissions for the security database, but I
really wonder why should this be necessary and why isn't 640 enough?
