Linuxconf is evil.  It's a security hole, it makes a total mess of your
config files, and it teaches sysadmins to be morons who don't know the
inner workings of their servers. 

Do yourself a favor and remove it completely from your servers.

To keep this OT, it makes a mess of nicely done named.conf files also.

(And just TRY to get RedHat to install WITHOUT it.  Can't be done.  Had
to create a script that runs after KickStart to remove that stupid
thing.)
