Well, the manpage for bash doesn't mention an /etc/bash_logout file, although
that would make sense.  My suggestion:
stick it in /etc/skel for new users, and run a sh/perl script to make the file
for each user.  10 minutes, tops.  If you're a perl hacker, that is...  =)

Here's a starter...no warranty, express or implied, YMMV.
