Rather than having to restart freeradius you can set
        hashsize = 0
for the passwd module which forces it to reread the file for every 
request rather than storing it in memory.

Note that the comment
#   hashsize - hashtable size. If 0 or not specified records are not
#            stored in memory and file is red on every request.
is incorrect (in version 1.1.1) as hashsize defaults to 100 rather 
than 0 if not present.
