set question and a general question on the new release

Im finding that all the servers on our network do not necessarily have the same set values that I want. So, I want to create a set.conf file and dump them on each server.
My question is simply, do I have to restart the server for this to work. Or can I rehash?
Second question. For some reason, I thought I had seen where codemaster module for channel flag(admin, netadmin) was in the release. no??? Dont see it in the documentation.
Thank you in advance for the help.

p.s. Sorry, I had syzop for that mdoule and I just went and checked. I was wrong. Same question though. It is channel LevelLimit module.

There are only a few settings that only take affect after a restart (eg: me { }, 1 of the listen { } blocks, ..), and I think the only set::* items that have this restriction are in the set::ssl block (certificate&key for sure)... So I think a /rehash will do :).

Oh and no, levellimit isn't integrated in 3.2.3.

Most of these set's that I want to do concern the time limit on the spamfilter glines and stuff. They are not consistant accross the network. It's my fault, I will admit that. But, a config file will make it easy for me to correct the issue.
Thank you for the information on the module also.

remote includes... you should create a config file with all the blocks you need... and then host it on some public network... and include it in the unrealircd.conf file on all servers... and then you too will be closer to having a network closer to perfection!

I've seriously thought about setting up remote includes. But, my thinking on that is that sooner or latter. The site that host's the files will be down, lagged, or just plain unreachable. I like the idea of the remote includes, and I haven't ruled that out. But, Im still tossing that idea back an forth in my head.
What I am instituting though is an automated server push of the config files. I really only care about 4 or 5 config files that are subject to change realy. We have just upgraded to 3.2.3, and have renamed all the config files on the servers to be the same names with the paths all being the same. I just wrote a sh script to do an automated ftp to a shell that I set up which has no privliages at all, other then to host files. The script will run from each server every night to ftp to the new shell, do an mget into the config folder. Check to see if anything was transfered. If so, then automatically rehash the server. If nothing was transfered, then no rehash occurs.
This way, I update the one server. And let the automated script do the rest of the work for me. And yes, I know. If the server that host's the files goes down, im in the same situation. Actualy, I did it this way because I have to create some automated ftp's at work. roflmao, and this gave me a place to test it at.

well with running any kind of network services is to pick and chose for reliable services. Not picking any aspect of your network that could potentially be down or unreachableâ€¦ ever since remote includes was introduced I have used and tested it. The only major issues I has was a dns issue a few version back, before it went stable. But again it is only a suggestionâ€¦. You are surely free to do whatever you likeâ€¦. You could write a script that uses scp command to copy a file to a number of shells and whatknotâ€¦
