Better yet, do it before you logout, then do "clear;logout".

My original hint was meant simply to leave the screen blank. It was not
meant as a security measure, just leaving things neat.

If you need to completely cover up your tracks, create a file with a
thousand (or however many you need) blank lines. Now supposing the file
name is blanks and it is in your home directory, enter the following, all
on one line:

	cat ~/blanks;clear;logout

That'll do it.
