Hi Keith,
As far as I know any radius server derived from the original Livingston
code needs to be restarted to load a new users file.
I use radwatch on my system which will automatically restart the radius
server if it dies. You may want to try using that (with a shorter delay
before restarting radiusd) so that you may simply "killall radiusd" to
effect the reload. There will be a short downtime, but the radius clients
should retry a number of times anyway.
When you authenticate from the system password file you hardly ever
need to reload the users file.
Cheers.
