[Firebird-devel] Getting TCS to work on remote db

[Mark O'D. <mar...@lu...>]

Hi Frank

Have you had any luck using TCS on remote databases.  I expect it's part 
of the Borland changes but superserver is a lot more restrictive about 
who can use it, and currently I cannot access a local databse from the 
isql client, except via localhost:xxxx.

Im not sure if this is a feature, or a bug, without giving it much 
though I thought it would though a local access would have connected to 
localhost:xxx by default.

Anyway the man thing is because of this the tcs database and all created 
databses need to use a remote connection.

I got something that sort of works, (I changed some of the hardcoded 
paths in drop_gds for instance) and set up the database template as 
locahost:xxxx but I had to have IB_USER and IB_PASSWORD defined and a 
few of the tests choked becuase they couldn't do something remotely. 

Have you tried running tcs in this sort of mode?

Cheers

Mark

I had no time to check the changes in the Borland tree, so just to sort 
out the opbvious:
Are you sure it is because of the Borland changes, or is it just a
missing localhost in /etc/hosts.equiv?
