login clear screen

[Ethan Benson <erbenson@alaska.net>]

hello,

I searched the archives and did not find anything on this...

on redhat the login program clears the screen when it is spawned or 
when too many login failures occur etc, this leaves the consoles 
cleared displaying just a single login prompt.  personally I like 
this, and miss it in Debian (to which I am in the process of 
switching to)

I did not find any options for debian's login to clear the screen... 
(if there is one somewhere i'd like to know)

is the clear screen behavior considered annoying or obnoxious by 
debian folks or is it just that nobody ever implemented it?



Best Regards,
Ethan Benson
