Does anyone know if you need to reboot for the + in /etc/services to
take effect? I've added a + at the end of /etc/services on my FreeBSD
4.8-RELEASE box but getservbyname calls still fail unless I have the
service entries explictly entered into the file. A "ypcat services"
works fine so NIS is okay. Is this supposed to work?
