Firebird Classic server on Ubuntu 13.10 listen to remote connections

I've installed Firebird Classic on Ubuntu (13.10) and I need to open it to remote connections. netstat -an on port 3050 shows this:

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3050 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

I tried editing /etc/xinet.d/firebird25 to listen to all on eth0, I tried to edit firebird.conf to Bind to all interfaces. But still I can't connect via remote on that port. Firewall is disabled.

I answered this in https://askubuntu.com/questions/373090/ubuntu-server-13-10-and-firebird-2-5

From a fresh install:

sudo su
apt-get install xinetd
apt-get install python-software-properties
add-apt-repository ppa:mapopa
apt-get update
apt-get install firebird2.5-classic                 
netstat -an | grep 3050  #shows the problem: not binding to  0.0.0.0
nano /etc/firebird/2.5/firebird.conf
#comment out all RemoteBindAddress = XXXX
nano  /etc/xinetd.d/firebird25
#set  bind                    = 0.0.0.0
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.5-classic
netstat -an | grep 3050  #shows the fixed as binding to 0.0.0.0
