Eh? I doubt that. I can't envision any possible scenario where such an action would require a linux reboot. Perhaps someone cut and pasted from a guide originally written for windows, or some similar silliness?
I'd love to see the reference.
Page 572 of "Beginning SUSE Linux", from Apress.
My first reaction on seeing advice to reboot is to think "what idiot wrote this" but I will for the time being withhold judgement until I can find a copy of that and read the context. If my first impression is correct though, it wouldn't be the first time some well meaning writer from a microsoft background recommended a completely unnecessary reboot on a linux system, supposedly to cause some trivial configuration change take effect.
