It depends. If the bug is in a central part (like the DNS resolver), you'd better reboot the machine, just to be sure. Otherwise, you can get away with restarting a few services. When the bug is in a short-running auxiliary program, no further action is required. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
