Hi all,
common-lisp.net has 429 OS-level non-system users. Of these users, 347 didn't log in since 2013 (inception of the current instance). Just for the fun of it: cohorts since 2013:
1 2013 7 2014 18 2015 9 2016 10 2017 21 2018
Since these 347 users seem to get by without logging in (or have lost interest), I'm planning to remove these users and their home directories from the system as a system clean-up action.
The GitLab accounts associated with these users won't be affected. Neither will project's public_html hosting associated with these users.
Before removal of these accounts, all users will be notified through their @ common-lisp.net accounts which is expected to forward to a valid mail address. If a valid forward address isn't available, I'll be assuming we lost contact and there's no other option than to assume lost interest, followed by clean-up.
This mail is both to notify as well as to solicit feedback.
Any comments?
Regards,
Hi all,
Today I found the time to clean all accounts in the original batch (347 accounts) from the system for which the owner didn't object to removal.
While cleaning, I also cleaned up a number of Trac "environments" which didn't contain anything (no tickets, no wiki pages).
Regards,
Erik.
