It can be used to completely darken the screen at logout, thus preventing burnin of the login dialogue box. The package provides LoginHook and LogoutHook shell scripts and the source to a small program that lowers and restores the EVS and NVRAM video levels at logout and login time. The package may be found in: pub/next/1.0-release/sources/darken.tar.Z or pub/next/2.0-release/sources/darken.tar.Z It has been tested under NeXTStep 1.0 and 2.0, so it is located in both the 1.0-release and 2.0-release subdirectories.
