Cancel LQ account?


I just tried to cancel my LinuxQuestions account, but there seems to be no option to get rid of it. How comes?

Because Linuxquestions.org lives from questions and answers, that was the answer to your question that I read in the past. Others might find your contributions to this forum helpful in the future, as well as Reggae jokes. It would be a real pity if they vanished

@Kikinovacs:

It would be a real pity if you vaished as well... enjoy the climb, vent some energies, but come back to LQ!

LQ is like Hotel California. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

Enjoy the climb and get some photos!

I already pointed to https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...count_deletion and I'll move this to LQSF as well.

LQ has a CentOS forum that would surely benefit from your knowledge. But whatever you do, good luck and peace in your future endeavors.

What is your reason for leaving, that would be helpful.

I think kikinovak has explained it very well in other threads - the absence of PAM in Slackware is a showstopper for LDAP based authentication (as far as I understand it) and is therefore at some points a pita for his work, that means setting up and maintaining networks as well as teching students about such things.

Wah????

Seriously Dude?

Look, I'm as frustrated with the lack of Enterprise capability as you are, I even went so far as to look at how LFS managed to pull it off after the "Future of Slackware" bitch-fest (I mean, it can't be that hard, the frickin' Ubuntinites figured it out.) If you want to take on that project and need a "team", you got one guy ready to sign up.
Quitting... that's how you end up on a Mac babbling about "fit and finish", it's an ugly, ugly path, amigo. Reconsider.

Get yourself a glass of wine and listen to "Three Little Birds" for a couple of hours and maybe then we can get started on this PAM issue.

kikinovak,

Is everything okay, my friend? I would like you to think about returning when you're ready. I will miss your wit and wisdom. I look forward to seeing you soon.
