Is it just me or does this not work for the root account?
it doesn't worry me much since i have an alias in .bashrc which says
alias cl='clear;exit'
but i tryed it this way and while it worked for normal users it did not for root. Probably the most imprtant user to not have people looking at.. though maybe not.
thanks,
