Hi Mark & Helen- I somehow lost my post. I will try to make it briefer. I don't know how links work here.
Mark nailed it on the source of my confusion. I thought like in postgres you did : su - # su - postgres pg$ Helen was right that I was doing su - firebird -s /bin/bash which is a "tweak" because I didn't understand the nologin scenario. Thanks for providing such expert help! Helen I like your books. Please check out the link (i don't know how to give the link a title yet in this forum) I made it fooling around bored as my hobby. It is a query builder that uses swig, c++, tcl, firebird, ibpp thanks again, jim untitled http://3rdshiftcoder.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/rework_query_builder5.html untitled http://3rdshiftcoder.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/rework_query_builder5.html //#include "../ibpp_headers/StdCPract.h" #include "QueryBuilder.h" using namespace std; //#define NDEBUG #ifndef NDBUG #define assert(x) #else #define assert(x) \ if (!(x)) \ View on 3rdshiftcoder.net http://3rdshiftcoder.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/rework_query_builder5.html Preview by Yahoo
