InterBase's dependency on the services file is IMO stupid and
completely unnescessary.

IB is the only TCP/IP application that I know of which relies on named
ports. Maybe it was once considered "friendly" to let the user specify
a port number by name, but it is much easier to specify a number and
be done with it instead of having to edit an obscure little known
system configuration file. With InterBase 7.5's multi instance it's
even worse because one can't rely on the client installation to make
the correct change in services.

AFAIR even IB Console requires the use of a named port. It can't
connect to an explicit port number.

I hope we can get rid of the dependency on port name in the next
version of IB.
