cleaning the console on logout

[fluca1978]

I've noted that the console is not cleaned when the user performs a logout; I believe this being not a big security risk, since today almost everyone is connecting in a remote way, but I think that having a clean console should be better at all. Is it a setting of the shell or the console?

Depending on shell, you can maybe embed a ctrl+L in the logout file (depending on what your shell uses).

Or, you can just hit control+L then control+D to logout?

As a user of (t)csh you can simply do

$ echo "/usr/bin/clear" >> ~/.logout

to clear the screen after a logout.

Of course. I've only ever cleared screen with ctrl+L, figured there must be some command for it

$ clear && logout works for me.
