Thanks :-) But the explanation is a bit "ethereous": * Made the init script warn that using the force-reload and restart parameters is not a good idea. (Closes: #550240) Okay, "force-reload" and "restart" should be avoided (they're "weak"). So, the next logical question is, how one safely restarts the network service? :-?
