Hi,

When I need to change the IP settings, I usually go over the rc.conf
directly (as root) to change the IP settings. The question is that
once I change the settings I need to re-boot the system in order to
the change be working.

Is there any way that I can apply the changes without re-booting the system?

Cheers,
Soo-Hyun
