It should, `service x restart` is the same as `service x stop` and then `service x start` it just saves you doing two steps manually. > My problem is with the built in unbound.

What errors are you seeing? anything in the console? /var/log/messages? Do you have unbound or bind already running? Do you get anything from sockstat -4 -6 -p 53 > So the answer to my original question is, there is NO way to cause the > rc.conf file to be reread and re-processed without a reboot. rc.conf is read when a script using settings contained in it is run. That is, it is read by `service x start` so any changes saved before you run `service x start` will be in effect. You will find all rc scripts will use `load_rc_config` to read in any config variables they are interested in. By enabling a service in rc.conf you have to manually start the service if you don't want to restart the machine. Similarly any config changes will only be in effect if you manually restart the effected service or restart the machine. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Ambler
