Just editing a file is not enough. yes, but there's a trick -- some services support both the "restart" and "reload" actions, as in: # service fubard restart # service fubard reload the first would do an actual service restart, while the second would simply tell the service to reconsult its config file -- useful if this is a service you really don't want to stop, even for a second. but i know you knew that already. :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
