I think it would be a security issue to execute clear by default for root, or even for a normal user (at least change it to /usr/bin/clear, with full path). If you wanna use clear for root too, add it manually :p It is executed by normal users just as clear now (see /etc/skel/.bash_logout). Isn't it a security threat if stuff written by root to the console is left for everyone to see? I agree that a good administration should configure these things but it doesn't hurt that the default configuration is as good as possible. current setup is fine |
