I've got a client that uses a firewall I made for them with FreeBSD 3S. Sometimes this customer calls and needs to change a port mapping. I ssh in and change my natd config file. (I start natd with the -f flag.) How would I restart it at that point? If I kill the current daemon, I get locked out. I just tried this: # kill [pid of natd] && /sbin/natd -f /usr/local/etc/natd.conf -n mx1 And also got locked out, with no access to the box. Had to walk the guy through restarting it from their side (the box usually has no kb or vid connected). Is sending a "restart" command the only good way to restart natd remotely?
