Firebird security bug fixed in gentoo linux
Firebird allows remote connections to the administrative account without verifying credentials.

RAID 10 performance tradeoffs and firebird
I have been configuring a fair number of Linux database servers for a line-of-business application; it runs the Firebird SQL database in server mode only (no application code at all - just DB).
