Hello listmates,
It appears that system-config-bind has been phased out. Whatever the reasoning was behind that decision - what are we expected to do now? Edit it manually? That is doable, of course, but kind of cumbersome. Does anybody know if there is a tool we are expected to use for that purpose?
Thanks.
Boris.

If you're afraid of "vi", I can recommend webmin. http://dl.nux.ro/rpm/webmin.repo

Thanks, webmin is not a bad idea.
I am not afraid of anything, just don't want to do things in a way that is inefficient and error-prone. And multiple edits in text files tend to get that way.

and then you have 2 problems, one of which is a security hole.
I've mostly just gone to using nsupdate from the cli for all zone edits in bind zones. if you ever need the clear zone file, its easily dumped out with rndc - works, and you can do some fairly complex things in a clear and simple transaction manner ( plus, easily automated from other scripts / code for more win )

What's the security problem associated with webmin?

Boris,
People complain it runs as root (which it needs in order to modify system settings and so on, of course) and that its code is not very secure, which may well be the case, but in the end Webmin is one useful tool that I have never had security issues with, nor did I hear about others that had. It's up to you if you want to use it or not. Maybe you could keep it running on some non-public interface etc to be extra-cautious.
Webmin is perfect for that.
