Blech! sorry, I copy-pasted your original and amended it without noticing the sudo. You don't sudo gsec. Now, assuming you are at the ..Resources/bin/ directory (where the gsec app lives), do ./gsec -database localhost:/Library/Frameworks/Firebird.framework/Resources/English.lproj/var/security2.fdb -user sysdba -password masterkey (and this is assuming your system knows/allows the host name localhost; otherwise, use 127.0.0.1 or the host machine's actual network name or IP4 address) Helen Borrie, Support Consultant, IBPhoenix (Pacific) Author of "The Firebird Book" and "The Firebird Book Second Edition" http://www.ibphoenix.com/products/books/firebird_book __________________________________________________________________
