Why would you care if there was evidence that you'd logged on?  If you did
log on, then you have a valid login and password, and therefore you were
meant to log on - so why hide it?

Besides, the network admin can set up all kinds of auditing tools to keep
close track of who logged on when.  You can never know what evidence
you're leaving behind.  Making the screen look like you were never there
is pretty meaningless, unless you're trying to hide the fact that you
logged in from a moron.
