Well, I don't think the OS ever consults those files. Most of the applications that use those files seem to consult them when they get a new connection request. So, you shouldn't have to do anything special. But maybe some daemons cache the info? Is there a particular server daemon that doesn't seem to be responding to your changes? -- Eric G.
