Sorry one other question.

? for the CRL cases below, does the host need to "drop the connection" for the CRL updates

Hi Anthony,

No, swanctl --load-creds has to be called explicitly.

> Item 2, if a new CRL is copied to the "assigned location", and

Only if a previously fetched and cached version expired, or the cache has been flushed manually.
