Does anyone know how this new SSL cert expiry date thing is going to affect things like user authentication with SSL certs, i.e. for openvpn.

If we're running our own CA, can I get safari, chrome et al to accept longer cert expiry?

Also: #Slackware 15 has a security update for Python3:

slackware.com/security/viewer.

Slackware-current just adopted #OpenSSH 10.0.p1 & #OpenSSL 3.5

n/openssh-10.0p1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. Potentially-incompatible changes include the removal of the weak DSA signature algorithm, completing the deprecation process that began in 2015 (when DSA was disabled by default) and repeatedly warned over the last 12 months.

n/openssl-3.5.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. New LTS release, supported until 08 Apr 2030.
