Yes
If so, that's not just a minor annoyance :P
Then use an SQL database.HUP does not work reliably, and cannot be made to, for architectural reasons. However, Alan has recently added code to the CVS HEAD which will reload *certain* portions of the server (just "users" files I believe) safely on HUP. You could possibly contribute (or pay someone to do so) code to do this for rlm_passwd, but to be honest - why bother when SQL is available?
