[New: openFATE 309094] Clear console on exit for security reasons
Feature added by: Fco. Javier Nacher (xiscoj) Feature #309094, revision 1 Title: Clear console on exit for security reasons openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Fco. Javier Nacher (xiscoj) Description: hi, I've seen that ubuntu clears console screen when the user does a logout. If you use your linux as a sever or in text mode it is very interesting. At the moment when you do a logout all your last operations in console are visible, and I think it is a seucurity problem. I know that usually people use a GUI term, but it won't be a problem to add this feature I've done it myself, just added this to my .bash_logout. # when leaving the console clear the screen to increase privacy if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ]; then [ -x /usr/bin/clear ] && /usr/bin/clear -q fi So addind this to the user creation skeleton files would do it and won't cost more than 2 minutes. Bye and thanks -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309094
