<div>Hi All,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So today I thought I'd try my hand at "nicely" reloading the
freeradius config using signals rather than hard restarting the
daemon.</div>

<div>I added new config to the hints file and to the users file.</div>

<div>Ok, so that looks good.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However freeradius continued to act as if the configuration
changes had not been made.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I then went back and did a hard stop and start of freeradius,
and now it is clearly using the new configs.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Am I missing something? This should have just worked that
simply, right?</div>

Only changes to the beforementioned modules are applied after the
HUP signal, others wont.<br>
check if your changes are on these modules or not.<br>
