Updating system's natd config from natd.conf

2006-07-14 Thread Darek M

Hi there,

What is the procedure to make active changes made to /etc/natd.conf?

Sometimes, restarting the natd process with an HUP drops my connection.  
Other times the restart didn't seem to make any difference.  The only 
way I've ever updated natd rules was to restart the server and never was 
able to find anything relating to this topic online.


Any other options?

Thanks.

Basicly, you need to kill and restart natd right now, and doing so  
will lose track of any active state for currently-open connections.   
Natd dies when it gets a SIGHUP, but I've always wanted to extend its  
signal handler to trap SIGHUP and re-read the config file.
