 Couldn't you set the size of the scroll-back buffer to zero if this
 upsets you or your users? (kbdcontrol -h 1 will effectively do this).
 Alot of terminal emulators would have this problem.
 
 (Loosing the scroll back buffer on logout would be likely to upset
 some people 'cos it means that console log messages would be erased.)
