(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #0)
newsyslog doesn't "reload" its config files, it loads them every time it runs. 
It is run every hours by default.

You're right that there is a discrepancy between newsyslog and syslogd there
though.

But most daemons do not reload their config files automatically and doing so
would break expectations I would say.  cron is a notable exception.
