Well, I don't think the OS ever consults those files. Most of the
applications that use those files seem to consult them when they get a
new connection request. So, you shouldn't have to do anything special.
But maybe some daemons cache the info? Is there a particular server
daemon that doesn't seem to be responding to your changes?
