  The server reloads modules if their configuration has changed.  If there's no configuration change, the module isn't reloaded.

  The linelog module is a bit different.  It opens output files, which need to be closed and re-opened on HUP.  The server core doesn't (yet) know this about the linelog module, so it doesn't reload linelog on HUP.

  It's probably easy to add another module flag: RLM_TYPE_RELOAD_ON_HUP, and have the server core reload the module on HUP, even if the configuration hasn't changed.

  That's for reloading the configuration.

  What's that problem?

  Yes.
