I didn't know about 'vidcontrol -C' That combined with 'clear' does the trick. However... Is there any way I could have this execute when the "login:" prompt displays, rather than having each user need to do it themselves? In other words, I want this clearing to happen for all users regardless of shell, etc. I haven't seen anything in login(1) or login.conf(5) that allows this kind of customization, but maybe I missed it... -John
