Please forgive me, I have not been in the UNIX world for awhile, and just
got back in..plus this is the first time to actually administer a UNIX
server. Here are my questions:

1) How do I log into root? Whenever I try via telnet, it tells me that
root cannot be logged on. All I need to do is setup a new user!

2) Can somebody give me the following commands in nvi: save, quit,

3) Using named, how do I quickly add a new domain name? thanks.
