Denny Thanks for pointing out I had not CC'ed the misc list.
So here is the full reply with the solution I found for "7.3 - How do I
clear the console each time a user logs out?"
problem. See the second to last post for my solution. The FAQ just needs
to be updated.

Greetings
I have been running OpenBSD as a firewall/router since 2.5 and
have never had any problem with Clearing the console each time a
user logs out. I have just installed 4.4 on a system that was
running 4.0. I did a complete install from the install CD off the
ftp site(s). I then edited /etc/gettytab the same way I have done
many times before, following the FAQ instructions. The console will
not clear after logging out. I have even rebooted and the same
results. I thought I might have screwed the file up editing it so I
even did another clean install and ONLY installed pico to edit
/etc/gettytab just in case I somehow messed it up using vi... still
no go. Looked out on the net and found no reference to this. Any
Ideas?

I'm assuming you're referring to
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq7.html#ConsoleClear
i.e.,
To do this you must add a line in /etc/gettytab(5). Change the current
section:
P|Pc|Pc console:\
:np:sp#9600:
adding the line ":cl=\E[H\E[2J:" at the end, so that it ends up looking
like this:
P|Pc|Pc console:\
:np:sp#9600:\
:cl=\E[H\E[2J:
Now try changing
default:\
:np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:
to
default:\
:np:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:cl=\E[H\E[2J:

I found that the ttys file now has:
"ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty std,9600"
where it used to be:
"ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"
so I changed the the following in /etc/gettytab:
2|std.9600|9600-baud:\
:sp#9600:
To:
2|std.9600|9600-baud:\
:sp#9600:\
:cl=\E[H\E[2J:
and the console now clears every time.

You're absolutely right. Never noticed that. I ran into the same
problem as you when upgrading to 4.4 & used the way I sent you.
Nice to know another way & another way to look at it. Thanks.
You really ought to post that to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I noticed you didn't cc
the list. Be nice to have it in the archives for others. Thanks
again, Bret.
