Hi there,

My system. Fedora Core 3 on a dell desktop.

I don't understand why different interfaces like Webmin and Domain name
system under server settings and don't seem to point to the same directory
when configuring BIND.

I realized that the file I've been playing with (/etc/named.conf) also
exists in /var/named/chroot/var/named and I don't understand why.

I'm a newbie in LINUX admin and it's not easy to configure BIND. I decided
to give it a try with Domain name system that I just downloaded with yum.
Webmin and BIND don't co-exist well together so I'm giving up with Webmin.
It is good for other services but with BIND it's a nice piece of crap as far
as I'm concerned.

Can somebody clarify that in plain english please.

Thanks in advance.

Kashmir
