RH8 , DNS, Bind

I meant the GUI is handicapped.  Only A records allowed.  I figured (and 
actually prefer) CLI (Cisco junkie) would be the best way but I have my 
personal projects due ASAP.  I just had a son, my hosted email just 
blocked port 143 from me, I know M$ very well but hate it, and I need to 
get my mail back up.  All this with a newborn makes the learning curve 
more difficult.

What I was hoping for was a default install of RH and that the tools 
would be complete.

I'm trying to get a DNS server (mine) to point my MX to my server.  That 
(the DNS stuff) I can get if I can get BIND down (easy).
I'm learning OpenLDAP and need to get my Exchange Address books 
incorporated. (still don't have a clue yet)
Then I need to figure out Courier with Webmail and IMAP to host my mail. 
(I sure hope by December - my goal)

I just need a cheat sheet for LDAP to get me going.  Also if I could see 
someone's Courier mail server config files, that would also help me out. 
 Still haven't installed Courier, just read the docs.

More importantly, I need this stuff up.  I can slap this up in 30 
minutes with NT but I hate it.  I'm looking for a long term solution. 
 If anyone has experience with OpenLDAP and Courier, I would like to get 
together at one of the meetings or sooner.
