I have a situation with numerous local databases for different users on Ubuntu. There need to be local connections (no tcp/ip) and delphi connections (over tcp/ip). Version 2.0 works just fine. I can log in as any of the different users and using qli connect to their (well the databases are owned by root) local databases (and no one else's). The same user can connect to their database over tcp/ip from delphi. All the tcp/ip connections are within a very secure LAN, no Internet connection from the outside world. When I tried version 2.1 it created a user firebird and now none of the users can connect locally to their databases. I tried adding each user to the firebird group but that did nothing. I tried several different owners firebird, root, and the user but a local connection could not be made from the user nor firebird. Only sudo to root allowed the local connection. That is a security travesty. Where are the release notes for version 2.1? I need to find out the specific differences in development between version 2.0 and version 2.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
