69: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.2.
1.15 miod 70: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus32.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 miod 71: to 3.2.
72: <p>
73:
74: <ul>
75: <li><a href="http://www.OpenSSH.com">OpenSSH</a> (supporting both the
1.2 mpech 76: SSH1 and SSH2 protocols) is now at version 3.5. Privilege separation is
1.1 miod 77: now enabled by default for greater robustness.
78: <p>
79:
1.12 deraadt 80: <li>Non-executable stack on i386, sparc, sparc64, alpha, powerpc.
81: No-exec data and bss on sparc, sparc64, and alpha. This makes some
82: classes of future potential buffer overflows unexploitable.
83: <p>
84:
85: <li>Apache runs chroot'd by default. To disable this, see the new <b>-u</b>
86: option.
87: <p>
88:
1.13 deraadt 89: <li>A very significant reduction in setuid binaries. Many of those binaries
90: which still retain setuid have been modified so the operations needing root
1.14 deraadt 91: are done early on, and then privilege is revoked immediately after that.
1.13 deraadt 92: <p>
93:
1.11 deraadt 94: <li>Asymmetric and symmetric hardware encryption support is now enabled by
1.10 deraadt 95: default, if you have such devices in your machine.
96: <p>
97:
1.1 miod 98: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
99: the Web FAQ. A larger part of the website is now available in several
100: languages.
101: <p>
102:
103: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
1.16 pvalchev 104: setuid/setgid ports have been significantly reduced as well. Many of the
105: ones that remain setuid have been modified to revoke privileges as early
106: as possible.
1.1 miod 107: <p>
108:
1.16 pvalchev 109: <li>Over 1800 pre-built and tested packages.
1.1 miod 110: <p>
111:
112: <li>Better video and X11 support for the
113: <a href="sparc.html">OpenBSD/sparc</a>,
114: <a href="sparc64.html">OpenBSD/sparc64</a> and
115: <a href="alpha.html">OpenBSD/alpha</a> ports.
116: <p>
117:
118: <li>A lot of enhancements and stability improvements to our packet filter, <a
1.8 henning 119: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>:
120: <ul>
121: <li>new "antispoof" keyword: spoofing protection made easy
122: <li>much simplified rule file language
123: <li>extended filtering capabilities
124: <li>control state table entries on a per-rule granularity
125: <li>support dynamic interface expansion. No more need to reload the ruleset
126: on IP changes.
127: </ul>
1.1 miod 128: <p>
129:
130: <li>A new tool,
1.2 mpech 131: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=4">systrace</a>,
1.1 miod 132: for controlling in detail applications behaviour and rights at the system call
133: level.
1.7 jufi 134: <p>
1.1 miod 135:
136: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
137: <p>
138: <ul>
139: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)</li>

166: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
167: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
168: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
169: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
170: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
171: purchased a CDROM instead.

204: <p>
205: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
206: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
207: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 208: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 209:
210: <p>
1.3 jufi 211: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
212: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 213:
214: <p>
215: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
216:
217: <p>
218: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
219: at <i>CD:/3.2/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a".
220:

310: <ul>
311: <p>
312: The 3.2 release of OpenBSD/sparc is located on CD3. To boot off of this CD you can use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
313:
314: <ul><pre>
315: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

319:
320: <p>
321: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.3 jufi 322: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.2/sparc/floppy32.fs" to a floppy. For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#4.1">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.
1.1 miod 323:

331: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
332:
333: <p>
334: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
335: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the

405: read <a href="ports.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
406: if you know nothing about ports
407: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
408: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
409: OpenBSD ports system.
410: <p>
411: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
412: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
413: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
414: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
415: <p>
416: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

419: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
420: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
421: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
422: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
423: like:

428: <p>
429: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
430: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
431: server.]
432: <p>
433: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
434: packages for the 3.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
435: <p>
436: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
437: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
