I always hate it that the default skeleton for normal users is to clear the screen on logout. It is one of the irritating things that I always fix on my systems so that it doesn't do that by default. It gets in the way of productivity. If the user wants to clear the screen then they can do so manually. And it doesn't provide any "protection" in the case of connection drops. Better to be aware of any sensitive information and to protect it as appropriate than to have such an annoyance most of the time when it isn't needed and to have it fail you at some critical time. I had to give the counter opinion. :-) Bob
