66: <p>
67: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.2.
1.15 miod 68: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus32.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 miod 69: to 3.2.
70: <p>
71:
72: <ul>
73: <li><a href="http://www.OpenSSH.com">OpenSSH</a> (supporting both the
1.2 mpech 74: SSH1 and SSH2 protocols) is now at version 3.5. Privilege separation is
1.1 miod 75: now enabled by default for greater robustness.
76: <p>
77:
1.12 deraadt 78: <li>Non-executable stack on i386, sparc, sparc64, alpha, powerpc.
79: No-exec data and bss on sparc, sparc64, and alpha. This makes some
80: classes of future potential buffer overflows unexploitable.
81: <p>
82:
83: <li>Apache runs chroot'd by default. To disable this, see the new <b>-u</b>
84: option.
85: <p>
86:
1.13 deraadt 87: <li>A very significant reduction in setuid binaries. Many of those binaries
88: which still retain setuid have been modified so the operations needing root
1.14 deraadt 89: are done early on, and then privilege is revoked immediately after that.
1.13 deraadt 90: <p>
91:
1.11 deraadt 92: <li>Asymmetric and symmetric hardware encryption support is now enabled by
1.10 deraadt 93: default, if you have such devices in your machine.
94: <p>
95:
1.1 miod 96: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
97: the Web FAQ. A larger part of the website is now available in several
98: languages.
99: <p>
100:
101: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
1.16 pvalchev 102: setuid/setgid ports have been significantly reduced as well. Many of the
103: ones that remain setuid have been modified to revoke privileges as early
104: as possible.
1.1 miod 105: <p>
106:
1.16 pvalchev 107: <li>Over 1800 pre-built and tested packages.
1.1 miod 108: <p>
109:
110: <li>Better video and X11 support for the
111: <a href="sparc.html">OpenBSD/sparc</a>,
112: <a href="sparc64.html">OpenBSD/sparc64</a> and
113: <a href="alpha.html">OpenBSD/alpha</a> ports.
114: <p>
115:
116: <li>A lot of enhancements and stability improvements to our packet filter, <a
1.19 ! miod 117: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
! 118: including:
1.8 henning 119: <ul>
120: <li>new "antispoof" keyword: spoofing protection made easy
121: <li>much simplified rule file language
122: <li>extended filtering capabilities
123: <li>control state table entries on a per-rule granularity
124: <li>support dynamic interface expansion. No more need to reload the ruleset
125: on IP changes.
126: </ul>
1.1 miod 127: <p>
128:
129: <li>A new tool,

1.1 miod 131: for controlling in detail applications behaviour and rights at the system call
132: level.
1.7 jufi 133: <p>
1.1 miod 134:
135: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
136: <p>
137: <ul>
138: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)</li>

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

196: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
197: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
198: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

203: <p>
204: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
205: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
206: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 207: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 208:
209: <p>
1.3 jufi 210: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
211: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 212:
213: <p>
214: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
215:
216: <p>
217: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
218: 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".

282: configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
283: CD4:3.2/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
284: filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
285: BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD4:3.2/mac68k/ onto your

309: <ul>
310: <p>
311: 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.
312:
313: <ul><pre>
314: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

318:
319: <p>
320: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.3 jufi 321: 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 322:

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

383: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.5 miod 384: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
1.1 miod 385: Using these files

400: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

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

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

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