Thanks Craig ,
Thanks for the references.
I was able to determine the version of apache by httpd - v
and the version of bind by named -v .
However I cannot determin which mail server is running
nor which ftpd server is running.
Any help is much appreciated.

I run dns for internal lans but not exposed to the Internet because you
have to get deeper into it. I might suggest installing webmin
http://www.webmin.com but that evidently isn't the point of the
exercise.
I would suggest that both Apache and BIND are mature, stable and well
documented on their respective web sites and that would certainly be the
definitive documentation and possibly the best place to start unless you
are looking for a walkthru in which case, perhaps webmin isn't such a
bad idea.
