Thanks for the security upgrade!

After upgrade, the output was all OK except for: 
    [  NG  ] /etc/xrdp/key.pem is not readable by xrdp:xrdp

The reason is that on my system key.pem is a symbolic link to /etc/ssl/
private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key and the snakeoil file permissions are:
  -rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 1704 Oct 14  2019 /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-
snakeoil.key

I fixed it by sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert.

I'm unclear whether my system is a common setup or perhaps unique.  In the 
former case, I wonder if the xrdp install scripts could take care of this 
case?

Best,
-Steve
