+   When ``nodes.conf`` is edited directly, ``warewulfd`` does not know that the container profile has been changed. Therefore the changes to ``nodes.conf`` are not taken into account by ``warewulfd`` until it is restarted.
+   Once you restart ``warewulfd``, the ``nodes.conf`` file is then successfully reloaded.
+   This also goes for ``warewulf.conf`` as well - any changes made also require ``warewulfd`` to be restarted.
