How do I use gsec to create user on a Cobalt Raq 4 (Classic Server). Better
yet, does any one know where I can find a superserver .pkg for the cobalt
raq 4? If not I will have to use gsec on the command line, but don't know
how and the documentations is limited.

Thank
Larry Hoppe

Thank-you, I have been able to create user and grant permissions to tables
on the command line. However what I would really like is to upgrade from
Classic Server to Super Server. This would be easier on our students and
myself. Is it possible to upgrade, there is a download for Red Had, can I
use this on my Raq4 or should I stay away?

Sorry, but I know nothing about the architecture of a Raq4

I've just been browsing cobalkt Web site and can't see anything preventing you
to install Interbase Super Server, I believe Classic is shipped with RaQ 4,
because at the time of the deal Super Server wasn't stable enough
