But, I would suggest you check /etc/hosts and make sure you have an entry to 127.0.0.1 for localhost and more importantly an entry with your IP address and hostname. We have had issues where RedHat doesn't like to put in your hostname entry but Firebird doesn't work properly without it. -steve -- Steve Wiser President Specialized Business Software 6325 Cochran Road, Unit 1 Solon, OH 44139 www.specializedbusinesssoftware.com www.docunym.com (440) 542-9145 - fax (440) 542-9143 Toll Free: (866) 328-4936 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
