It seems like one can't reload rc.conf from an ssh > session. Well. That's that i suppose. Thank you ALL for the input. Yes, you can't "reload" rc.conf. It doesn't make sense, because rc.conf is not "loaded" after a system has brought itself up. It only serves as a useful collection of options and is parsed (mostly) at startup time by some of the startup scripts. If you have some specific changes to rc.conf in mind that you need to apply without a reboot, it's usually possible. We'd have to know what the exact changes were though, before any meaningful response could be written. - Giorgos
