   You could put the setterm command in /etc/bashrc or /etc/profile
(or in a .sh script in /etc/profile.d).  That would make it effective
for all logins, but not (likely) at the login prompt.  Putting a
setterm in rc.local might do what you want.
   The surest way is to disable this feature in the kernel.  That
seems to be the most commonly suggested option, as in this message:
