It should read: having root is not crucial
Typing and having dinner at the same time is not healthy for your

Absolutely right. My point was having root should is not crucial.

If you have sysdba permissions, you can do nbackup via services.
Secu
yes, I can place the call to nbackup in a crontab for firebird or root,
that seems to be the only way

For whatever linux distribution you are using..., its not
the projects build on SourceForge for example. I suspect some one (who
maintains Firebird for your Linux distro), may have been over zealous with the
security.
Any user who is part of the group firebird should be abl

According to nbackup manual

According to google you don't need password for cron jobs:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8475694/how-t
The default linux tar install has the following for security2.fdb amongst others
MakeFileFirebirdWritable() {
FileName=$1
chown $RunUser:$RunGroup $FileName
if [ "$RunUser" = "root" ]
# In that case we must open databases, locks, etc. to the world...
# That's a pi
because this is from cron, so key-based auth is out and I don't want to put
passwords / keys on the server
I can run from a root cron, with possible su to firebird, but was hoping
for something better

Why can't you use su to change current user to root or firebird?

Apologies, it does get changed, I was looking in the wrong place in the MacOS
installer...
SuperServer chmod 600 security2.fdb
Classic chmod 660 security2.fdb

Is this a distro specific install or the more generic Firebird one from
SourceForge?
I ask, because on MacOS the default security is the following
-rw
if I do nbackup . it fails, telling me I cannot access the
security2.fdb (as a normal user)
I would have expected the file to have group rw enabled so that permitted
users can be a member of group firebird to do this

Definitely. You wouldn't like any third party to access the password
Hi
I'm looking at using nbackup but the file permissions on security2.fdb mean
only firebird or root can do so, is that the way it is supposed to be?
