Hi, Is there a way to get natd to reload the config-file without terminating? The only way I found is to stop natd and then start it again. As the natd-config changes frequently here (we are changing the used network and we misuse natd to help us) I expect problems when just shuting down natd in a heavily used environment. If I got it right natd does not keep track about state but anyway if I stop and start natd frequently I certainly will lose connections, right? I could not find a way to HUP natd, neither to change its behaviour during runtime. Is there a way to solve the issue or does the problem I see not exist and in reality nobody will notice anything if natd is stopped and restarted? tia /ch -- "Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
