Thanks, I'll try this.

It's for the b9ddns third-party module. If people are going to do things
on a slave DNS name server but from a master server (that is, the master
name server as well as the webmin server that they are logged on) - such
as creating/deleting zones, reload's etc - then I'd like it logged on
the slave. I can see zones being created and deleted on the master
server webmin log but nothing is said about whether the zone was
created/deleted on the slave as well. In fact I think the master server
should log that as well as the slave logging the fact that it is
creating/deleting a zone.
