If you want if for every login, put a `clear screen' in your /etc/issue
like this:
clear > /tmp/banan
cat /etc/

just to throw myself in the thread. ;)
/etc/issue is a pre-logon file and has nothing to do with logging out.
(well, it gets displayed after you log out)
but forget about it just put 'clear' in ~/.logout and tadaaa!
I haven't seen anyone mentioning .logout and probably .login also works.
greets
Try 'clear;logout'
or alias it somewhere

I'm inherently lazy, and I hate typing. All these solutions work, but
what's wrong with suing to root, typing 'vi /etc/issue', typing '!!clear'
and finishing off with a ':wq' ??
Just goes to show there's more than one way to do it. (I think that may be
trademarked by Larry Wall).

At the top of my /etc/issue I put the ANSI Codes for home/clear:
^[[H^[[J --> (ESC)[H(ESC)[J
you can get the ESC char in vi by hitting ctrl+V, then ESC.
Hope this helps
