I modified the file /etc/security/limits.conf so that
my username would be allowed to create large files
(download 700MB iso images). Other users are restricted to
40 MB.  The line I added was...
    dwoods  hard  fsize  700000

The question is "how do I tell the system about this change
*without* rebooting the server ?"

P.S.  I did go ahead and reboot (after 42 days of uptime),
but then had some network problems to fix. So I still want
an answer for the next time I make changes.

Thanks... Dan.
