Hi,

today i have updated my Network to 3.2.1 but
after restart this Morning i have forget to order
the new CAcert Keys...
Now i have the CAcert Keys installed to Servers but
/rehash don`t load the New Keys ?! . Must i really
restart all Server`s again to load the Keys + cacert.crt ?

Yup I think so ;p

(I'm not sure if it's even possible to code it like that such a restart isn't needed [since you would have to deal with only new connections and stuff], or perhaps it's a lot of work.. I dunnow... it's a pretty uncommon thing to reconfigure anyway).

Yeah, it needs a restart. If the cert suddenly changed, it would mean all the users who are currently connected would be disconnected anyway because it would no longer be the cert they accepted when they connected.
