Not exactly, but close. The max age only applies to the refresh
heuristics, not explicit expiry times. Explicit expiry times set by the
origin server has a higher priority than refresh_pattern.

That is the general idea yes, but some changes requires a complete

Don't use the RunCache script. The built-in daemon mode is well
behaving.
If you are using the RunCache (or RunAccel) scripts, then make sure to
kill these prior to killing Squid.
