The "uni-directional" sounds a bit redundant, "send" implies that it's uni-directional I think.
Agreed, the other two changes sufficiently address the original complaint.
You can use the <link linkend="view-pg-file-settings">pg_file_settings</link> and <link linkend="view-pg-hba-file-rules">pg_hba_file_rules</link> views to check the configuration files for possible errors, before reloading.
I agree with adding "why" you want to check those links, and added a bit about why doing so before reloading works, but the phrasing using "You" seems out-of-place in this region of the documentation.
