Barry,
He also mentioned BIND several many times. Anyone that has worked with Unix/Linux systems should know what webmin is. I am not going to troubleshoot webmin however. I would be more than happy to help with bind though! :)

He's not editing configuration files. He's mentioned "webmin" numerous

configuring many Unix servers, including BIND and Apache.
