this is almost the same as stating that Linux has no security since
anyone can login with a root password.

While in general I agree that some sort of database-wide (as opposed to
server-wide) user definition is desirable in many cases (f. ex. for web
applications deployed by differente parties and hosted in a way that
they that must share the Firebird server), I don't think it adds much in
terms of security. Trying to protect a database from SYSDBA looks
pointless to me.
My 2c.
