[Samba] Safe to share information?

Just a question of best things to hide for asking questions to the list?

I created the following aliases

alias remove_SIDs="sed
's/S-[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*-[0-9]*/S-X-X-X-X-X-X-X/g'"
alias remove_DOMAIN_INFO="sed 's/<MY_SUBDOMAIN>/SUBDOMAIN/g' |sed
's/<MY_DOMAIN>\.<MY_TOP_LEVEL_DOMAIN>/DOMAIN.TOP/g'"

and always pipe logs and configs through them before posting to the list.

like so

cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | remove_DOMAIN_INFO | less

and copy and paste like normal

cat /var/log/samba/winbindd.log | remove_DOMAIN_INFO | remove_SIDs | less


Just curious if I am going too far or not far enough? Any other stuff
people should be keeping confidential? Any recommendations?
