Most services that use /etc/hosts.allow will notice changes to the file without a restart.

Is there any alternative to a restart? Does xinetd pick up changes at runtime? Or is it possible – like with Apache – to send a special signal for a reload of all configuration files? In the world of containers, a restart may be disadvantageous. – Torsten Bronger Sep 14 '22 at 05:18
