Hi,

I just notice:

/usr/share/perl5/PVE/Cluster.pm 

sub setup_rootsshconfig { 

if (my $fh = IO::File->new($rootsshconfig, O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_EXCL, 0640)) { 
# this is the default ciphers list from debian openssl0.9.8 except blowfish is added as prefered 
print $fh "Ciphers blowfish-cbc,aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc\n"; 
close($fh); 
} 
}


Any reason to still use blowfish-cbc ?  I think aes should be faster with hardware acceleration.

also, maybe could we add chacha20-poly1305  to the ciphers list, it's fast too when aes is not available in hardware.
