Debian logout question

["Benjamin Exley" <bexley@daily.umn.edu>]

Hi,

I've been playing with Debian lately (which I find to be a pretty cool 
distro!), and I have one (so far) question. How do you make it clear 
the screen when you log out, so that the login prompt isn't 
displayed immediately below your last screenful of commands?

Not that this is a really big deal, but damnit, I want it to look nicer! :)

Oh and does anyone have any suggestions for a good log parser? 
I've used logcheck before, and it seemed to function alright. Just 
wondering if there's something lots better out there.

Thanks!

Ben
