>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.
