if technical support noticed one security issue:
when someone enters ftp, then the LOG file records all activity on ftp (IP ADDRESSES who have logged and etc..)
but there is possible to open/modify the log file itself (i.e. remove some part from it).
so,if a hacker can enters ftp, he can modify/delete his backtrace logs from LOG file.
so, it is a good idea:
there could be only one action allowed (from cpanel) - to DELETE the LOG file fully and start from BLANK completely, and no option to "modify" it partially(and nothing can be modified from FTP, nor from "FILE MANAGER"). so, a client will choose to continue life with current LOG file - or re-create and start from blank LOG file.
that is good, because hacker cant hide himself.. he will have 2 ways: first- delete the LOG file (then i can easily notice that someone deleted file) or not to touch LOG file (then i will eventually see him in LOG file).
