The mingetty page says,        --noclear               Do not clear the screen before prompting for the login name (the               screen is normally cleared). I do not think I am alone in preferring the screen cleared after logout. I also think it could be a security issue. For now my workaround is to include a call to "tput reset" or "clear" in my .bash_logout script, but that has to be configured for every user and requires more packages installed either at the system level or per-user. I think this is an "easy for beginners" issue. I would fix it myself, but I have a lot of other stuff to do.
