reload /etc/security/limits.conf without reboot server?

Problem Description ===================
We have REDHAT AS 4.7 on DELL server. We need change following 3 files:

/etc/security/limits.conf
/etc/pam.d/sshd
/etc/pam.d/su

Does there has way reload it without reboot server?

Answer
-------------------------------
These are live files, so the changes should take effect immediately.

If a user is already logged in, the values for that session will not be altered until they log out and then back in.

So, no reboot, just log out and back in.

Howdy, Stranger!
