| I'd like tell you an idea: why not make a
| default /etc/skel/.bash_aliases that contains:
| 
| alias exit='clear; logout 2> /dev/null';
| alias logout="exit";
| 
| Then, when sb type exit (or logout), the console flushes and nobody can
| read what he wrote.

Because it's really annoying to have the console cleared out when
you're ssh-in into a system.

case "`tty`" in
    /dev/tty[0-9]|/dev/vc/*) clear
esac

in .zlogout/.bash_logout is so much better.
