Hi
I would like to know on how to delte the posts that are actually posted by myself .please help me on unix.com
There is no way for you to delete you own posts. Your posts are mainly questions. And most of them got an expert answer. The resulting thread is now part of our permament knowledge base. Other people who have similar problems may find the thread and be able to solve their own problems. If we remove your questions, the thread become useless and we destroy the efforts of the experts who helped. They helped you with the expectation that they were in fact adding to our permanent knowledge base.
It is very possible that threads you want to destroy have been linked to other threads that asked similar questions. They become damaged too. Our staff would have a lot work removing the damage that your request would cause.
This is why we do not remove old posts.

Send me a PM with the url of the post in question. I can edit it for you.
We are much more willing to remove confidential information than to delete posts wholesale, yes.
Making some wild guesses, I obscured the hostname shown in the shell trace output in post #1 in this thread from October 2nd, last year.
Scott had already removed the admin's e-mail address in that post shortly after the thread was created.
