Alex, Many thanks for your suggestion to look at ISC_USER. Yes this was set. The script was set up with
export ISC_USER=SYSDBA export ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey I'm sure that used to be necessary - especially on Windows... Investigating further, if ISC_USER is set or -user is passed on the environment then security2.fdb is accessed while no access is made if neither is set. So a script that works with Firebird 2.1 does not work with FIrebird 2.5 for this reason. However, I was working with a C++ program that uses IBPP. IBPP complains and gives you a LogicException if no user is given when it tries to connect to the database. So Firebird 2.5 has broken IBPP if you try and use it with the embedded server. Looks like a bug report for IBPP.
