> *How to enable Interbase

To enable InterBase on your system, please do as follows:

1. Make sure that you have the following line in /etc/services:

gds_db       3050/tcp    # InterBase Database Remote Protocol

2. Also make sure that you have the following line in /etc/inetd.conf:

gds_db    stream   tcp    nowait.30000     root 
/usr/local/sbin/gds_inet_server gds_inet_server  # InterBase Database
Remote Server

NOTE: If the line is commented out, please uncomment the line and poke
the inetd daemon by sending the HUP signal as follows:

      kill -HUP pid_of_inetd_process

where pid_of_inetd_process is an ID of the inetd process on your system.

You need to find out the pid (process ID) for the inetd process. In
order to do that, use the following command:

ps -e | grep inetd

where 'ps -e' means "show me all processes currently running on a
system"
      '|' means redirect output of 'ps' to utility 'grep'
      'grep inetd' means print lines matching a pattern 'inetd'

You should get something like that:

292 ?  00:00:00 inetd

The first number (292) is a process ID which you should use as an input
parameter for 'kill' command:

kill -HUP 292

Please note that you have to be superuser (root) to be able to send a
signal to the inetd. You do _not_ have to reboot your system.

3. Add the following line to /etc/hosts.equiv (create the file if it
doesn't exist):

localhost

Hope this helps.
