How do I get radius to pick up changes in the raddb/users file?
The server reads the config files just once, at startup. This is very efficient, but you need to tell the server somehow to re-read its config files after you made a change. This can be done by sending the server a SIGHUP (signal ‘1’ on almost if not all UNIX systems). The server writes its PID in /var/run/radiusd.
