Adding the canonicacal's header, as it was not yet indexed as such, and it's a good Q/A about the issue.

What information should I include or obfuscate in my posts?

This is a Canonical Question about the privacy of Server Fault and the needed detail to get an answer from the community.

Is there any information other than a password that would be considered a security threat?

I am primarily interested in knowing what could compromise the security of a server, rather than the security of intellectual property.

For example, it seems to me that it would be a security threat to include both my username and domain name.

If I post a large amount of output, it is not possible for me to know what nefarious uses it could be put to, especially if data were combined from across multiple posts.
