I propose when you complete your edits and close the editor application or in regular intervals you can execute the following as user to delete all logs:
Code:
smscon -del log
One other way of course is to modify the code. There are some flags you can set to disable logging.

If I may go back to the subject again...In Reverse SSH, changing a field other than the server password will cause all the settings, including the password in plain text, to be written to the log file.

So deleting the log file will not help if you subsequently change e.g. the port number; the username and password will be recorded in the (fresh) log file.

Just thought I'd warn the users.
