Currently a client can only read the log file (firebird.log) via ServicesAPI.

Please add a service action that clears the log file. This reduces the need to log in to the server to perform common maintenance.

firebird.log is available either locally or to SYSDBA only. What kind of security do you mean if you can trust neither your sysadmin nor your DBA? I see no security issues here.

That could also help on a big security issue:
- preventing to see the database locations from a LOG file.
