Squid
Shutdown and reboot of the main server takes longer due to a new default setting shutdown_lifetime 30 seconds. As an example the delay could be set to 10 seconds by appending the line shutdown_lifetime 10 seconds to /etc/squid3/squid.conf.
SSH
The root user is no longer allowed to login via SSH with password. The default PermitRootLogin yes has been replaced with PermitRootLogin without-password, so ssh-keys will work. To be able to use the slbackup-php site (which uses root logins via ssh), either ssh-keys have to be generated and distributed or PermitRootLogin yes has to be set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
Known issues
- None yet.
