I agree system-config-bind can be confusing if you are using versions
that come originally with FC3. One of the updated versions doesn't work
at all. It's much better with version 4.0.0-3 though.

While I haven't used it in a while, I've never had very good luck with
Webmin on Fedora and the Webmin site does not include it as an
officially supported distro (for what that's worth) although they say it
works best on Red Hat distros. What's the secret? I'd love to get it
working well *and* peacefully co-existing with other FC3 config tools.
Might try again tonight on a test system I have at school...

Cheers,

Chris
