There is nothing that I know of that will automatically "add a new virtual domain" to a machine in all of these systems. I have my own home brew perl scripts which do such things but they are not usable outside my own environment. Many other people I have talked to have done the same thing or just configured each of these individually. If you are not technically savvy enough to write your own configuration management system or to modify the configuration files individually, you might consider instead of having your own machine to use a web hosting company which automatically installs and configures this stuff for you via a control panel. Incidentally this is not the first time I have seen a need for some larger "meta" confutation system for unix/linux in general. It's absolutely true that adding a domain to a system is often a multi-step process and it need not be. Like adding a user in the old days when you first edited the passwd file, the group file, made the home directory and copied over some dot files there, now it's all automated in the adduser command. A user might have several domains, mail, one or more web sites, etc. All of this gets configured into lots of different files. Then think what happens when you get rid of a user. There really aught to be some easier way which is why I ended up writing my own scripts. Michael Grant
