Well, there is always the SIGHUP signal which will trigger a re-read of
the configuration without restarting.  But...  some of the config tokens
don't implement reconfiging properly so it sort of depends on which
config tokens you're using.

You could also always writing something yourself.  Manipulating the
users is possible through the API, but you'd need to write the part that
listened to a socket and performed the actions you wanted performed.
