The problem is that when users use linuxconf to get
a given service up and running with a minimum amount
of fuss, once something breaks they have no idea
of how to fix it, becuase they lack a basic understanding
of how the service really works. I'm not saying don't
use linuxconf, I'm saying that every sysadmin who runs
BIND (or any service for that matter) should understand
what they are running, how it works, and how to fix it
should it break. Let linuxconf be your crutch at first,
but make sure you learn to walk without it sooner rather
than later.
