Indeed. W2k is a little better, but the problem is not eliminated
completely.
In general, after changing configuration, there are several different ways
to get it to take affect (RedHat-biased):
* BlackBox - as xOr said, it will reload, or try a "restart" via the menu.
* system settings - look in /etc/rc.d/init for a control script (httpd,
network, etc.). They usually take a start/stop/restart argument.
* many daemons will reload settings if you send them a SIGHUP via "kill -HUP
<pid>"
* if all else fails, use kill/killall and restart the process/daemon.
I think there are now enhancements that will let you swap kernels without
rebooting, but don't know exact URLs.
