| 0001_21_aliases | NDR | Creating an aliases caused an error message being displayed in the ui about a directory not present. | This is the 'aliases' directory in the status dir.

The fix adapts the samba configuration in such a way a default personal
share is available for every user. You can access it via: // |
| 0003_21_getfacl | NDR | The backup mail contains an error about acl. | Getfacl crashed in the beginning of the backup (so no ACL's were backed up), the reason is unknown but it seems it cannot handle the last '/' in '/jix/' in its initial commandline arguments. When replaced with '/jix' the command doesn't segfault anymore apperantly. |

| 0010_21_menuboot | KVL | When applying a new config.xml, after a reboot, the certificates are not synchronised. | This should fix that. This hotfix is not relevant for the majority of users, it is mainly intended for advanced users. |
