Re: Change 'checkidfile' without zebedee restart

Wolfgang:

	My experience with the Windows binaries (stable) is that you
can't signal the Zebedee server to tell it that a new 'checkidfile' is
available. I have to tear-down my connections, and bring them back up
again.
	Please let me know if you learn of a workaround!

Users who want to access Terminal Services have to authenticate themselves on a website with dynamically changing passwords. The service, which is running the website, adds and removes the user ids in the checkid-file.
