"Firebird User" on OSX considered harmful
-----------------------------------------
Key: CORE-3871
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3871
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Issues / Porting
Affects Versions: 2.5.1
Environment: OSX 10.7, 64-bit, Intel
Reporter: Maury Markowitz
Installing using the Mac installer uses a new userid for all file ownership and
permissions that makes the system unusable out of the box.
1) the permissions/ownership on /tmp/firebird are set such that the system is
in an unusable state:
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = HY000
Can't access lock files' directory /tmp/firebird
The directory must be deleted by hand in terminal.
2) the permissions/ownership of everything else likewise leaves the system in
an unusable state:
Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 28000
no permission for read-write access to database
/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Versions/A/Resources/examples/empbuild/employee.fdb
The user must chown or set permissions for everyone read/write to get even the
example DB to work.
