Is it safe to post one .log file?

Hi, I have a very basic question, so hopefully not laugh at me smile

Is it safe to post one. log file of the folder /var /log/?, I was wondering this, because they are often very long to read completely.

Do these files show some kind of private information or passwords?

hoping she would not laugh at me, thanks in advance smile

sorry for my English

You can post the tail of log material using the code tags - or, if it is a particularly long file, use a pastebin service:

Nevertheless, you should always check anything that you are posting to make sure it doesn't contain any information that you would be unwilling to have in the public domain.
