Something I'd consider important (since it allows on-the fly reconfiguration)
would be a true "reload" functionality in the init script (config file of
server or client, respective, re-read and changes applied to current setup
of deamon/userspace client). In the traditional manner, this would require
the server/client to handle a SIGHUP. (Actually, the code is already there,
but SIGHUP would "only" rotate the logs.)

Any chance?
