You could source an /etc/bash_logout as with bashrc. Put a default
.bash_logout in /etc/skel (doesn't Redhat already have one here that
"clear"s on logout?), and then just copy it out to existing users.

/etc/skel/.bash_logout
-------------------------------
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bash_logout ]; then
        . /etc/bash_logout
fi

# User-specific stuff goes here
-------------------------------

Then change your /etc/bash_logout to suit.
