Fulvio, I believe that there are two issues here. The first is that the FIREBIRD environment variable seems to be being ignored in 2.5 when locating the security database.
The second is how to use the Firebird 2.5 libfbembed.so under Linux when the current user is not a member of the firebird group. As Alex Peshkoff pointed out, your can do this provided that a user name is not provided. For example, with isql, as long as the ISC_USER environment variable is not set, when no "-user" argument is given to isql, no attempt is made to access the security database and a local database can be accessed as long as the user has r/w access to their local database. My problem was coming from IBPP which helpfully?) checks the username parameter when attempting to open a database and declares an error if none is given. Under Firebird 2.1, this was not a problem as long as a default security database was in the directory given by the FIREBIRD environment variable. Under Firebird 2.5 there seems to be no workaround. I have already posted a bug report on the IBPP list about this. The FIREBIRD environment variable issue probably needs to be progressed separately.
