there are other modules which provide non-restart functionality such as SQL password modules - there has also been recent work in CVS head to make certain modules compatible with a HUP. however, HUP and server restart - think logically about what is the difference? When you HUP you tear down and make unavailable the server anyway. some very nasty things happen in most daemons that are hup'able. at least the freeradius HUP work that has been undertaken keeps all the states alive. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
