I think they are read by any application the first time they need to. So, if you change them, new processes you start should see the change straight away. You may have to kill and restart any other processes which have already read them but you want to read them again. AFAIK, there's no other way (although some applications may have application specific methods). -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
