<div><br></div><div>(sigh)</div><div><br></div><div>&quot;files&quot; -&gt; I don&#39;t think that word means what you think it means.</div><div><br></div><div>k, so is there *any* way to make &quot;re-read the config&quot; actually reread *all* the config as opposed to &quot;only some arbitrary portion of said config which might possibly meet your needs, or maybe not&quot;?</div>

      <div>So today I thought I&#39;d try my hand at &quot;nicely&quot; reloading the

      <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>
