You do have to restart all processes with the old libraries loaded if you want to make absolutely sure (although I don't think it's usually terribly important), and a reboot is certainly one sure way to do that; dropping to single-user mode and then going back to runlevel 2 would be sufficient, though. The maximum paranoia I ever bother with here is to restart services, log out, and log back in. Usually I don't do anything at all. :) Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
