linuxconf is indeed on one of the 2 binary cd's but it has the ability
to really trash things like your sendmail.cf file.
best not to use it.
Personally, I use webmin
<http://www.webmin.com>
or
<http://webadmin.sourceforge.net>
if it is a 'server install' - i.e. no Xwindows then I would definitely
recommend webmin
if it is an installation with Xwindows - there are a number of different
tools that are installed in the GUI but I don't generally use them. I am
slowly learning where/how to edit the conf files in /etc - /etc/mail
- /etc/httpd - /etc/sysconfig with just a text editor like vim or
emacs.
