>Description:
In the file `$PORTS/databases/firebird25-server/files/pkg-message.in', it details how to use Firebird with inetd by telling the user to add a line to /etc/inetd.conf. However, it gives the wrong path to the 'fb_inet_server' executable.

The text

%%PREFIX%%/bin/fb_inet_server

should instead be:

%%PREFIX%%/sbin/fb_inet_server


This might also affect databases/firebird21-server, but I haven't tested.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/databases/firebird25-server
make install

Read the post-install message, and then blindly copy the text from step 2) into /etc/inetd.conf. (Re)start inetd, then attempt to connect to Firebird.

Briefly wonder why it isn't working, check inetd.conf, and then figure out the path from the line you blindly copied was incorrect.

Press the 's' key. :)
