    N> When jamnntpd starts I have it record it's PID in /var/run.  When a   
    N> new user is added, the users.dat file's timestamp chages.  I have a   
    N> script that checks the timestamp of the users.dat file every hour,   
    N> if the timestamp is new then it kills the pid and restarts jamnntpd.   
      
   ahhh... that only works in some cases... i don't currently see it working on   
   windows and depending on the compiler used, it may or may not work on OS/2...
