Originally created by @dp20eic on GitHub (Aug 31, 2025).

🌟 Briefly describe the feature

Installs a logout script to automatically clear the terminal history, ensuring a clean slate after each session.

📝 Detailed description

This feature request aims to improve user experience by automatically clearing the terminal screen when logging out.

💡 Why is this useful?

Motivation:

When a user logs out, of an SSH session or local console, previous commands and output often remain visible. This can pose a security risk, especially if confidential information such as IP addresses, user names, or configuration details are visible in the screen history.
Automatically clearing the screen ensures a “clean” state and protects user privacy and system information.

Implementation suggestion:

Please add a function to the helper scripts that creates or updates the file /etc/bash.bash_logout with the following content:

sleep 1
clear

With kind regards
Bernd
