I can't say at once what for is it needed in firebird.exe module particular, in engine (engine12.dll) it's needed to compare - does current user have root-like access. If your question is 'Does presence of SYSBDA hardcoded in binaries cause any security issues?' the answer is no. That name is explicitly documented for very many years, and there is no reason to hide it in any form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
