 * TBD ==== 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}}}.
