Hi Sam, the technical reason why GnuGk doesn't automatically recognize new interfaces is that it listens to each IP bound to your interfaces individually instead of listening to inaddr_any (0.0.0.0). GnuGk needs to do so to get full control over the IP address used for sending messages. Since the IP table is only read when GnuGk starts, you have to restart GnuGk so it can use new interfaces. Apart from the fact that detecting changes in the network interfaces is highly OS dependent, I don't think it is practical to let GnuGk react to each change event, because it needs to re-read and re-evaluate its configuration for each change. But it would be doable to have GnuGk re-read the interfaces whenever it reloads the config, so you can have script that sends GnuGk a HUP signal whenever your network interfaces have important changes. I have this on the list of things I'd like to implement in a future GnuGk version, but so far I didn't find a sponsor for the feature.
