>Description:
By default, getty(8) does not clear console screen upon logout, which is
somewhat annoying, though easy to fix.  Since I've been fixing this
thing in every installation during several past years (and I know many
others that do that as well), I think it's probably time to make it into

Just login at console, ls /, hit ^D.  See all you ls(1) output there.
>Fix:
The fix is trivial:
