When I change DNS data files, I must

kill -HUP <process-ID>

in order for the changes to take effect.

When I change the nntp_access file (permissions for different IP 
addresses to read/write/post news) do I need to do something similar to 
cause the changes to take effect?

I just tried adding some IP addresses for Portmaster IP addresses, but 
was unable to read news from those addresses.

Thanks, as always,

Doug Lerner,
