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

1.1 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>
1.20 jufi 139: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)

164: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
165: <p>
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.
172: <p>
173:
174: <hr>
175: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
176: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.2 on your machine:

191: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
192: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
193: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
194: <p>
195:
196: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
197: <ul>
198: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
199: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
200: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 201: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 202:
203: <p>
1.3 jufi 204: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
205: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 206:
207: <p>
208: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
209:
210: <p>
211: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.21 jufi 212: 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".
1.1 miod 213:

215: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
216: </pre></ul>
217:
218: <p>
219: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to <a href="faq/faq4.html#4.1">FAQ4.1</a>.

221:
222: <p>
223: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>
224: <ul>
225: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.2/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
226: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
227:
1.3 jufi 228: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppy32.fs</i> or
229: <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppyB32.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
1.1 miod 230: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.

255: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
256: <ul>
257: 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.
258:
259: <ul><pre>
260: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>

262: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
263: </pre></ul>
264:
265: <p>
266: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.3 jufi 267: 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 268:
269: <ul><pre>
270: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
271: or
272: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>

274:
275: <p>
276: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
277:
278: <p>
279: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
280: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
281: INSTALL.sparc file.
282: </ul>
283:
284: <p>
285: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

289: <p>
290: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1.3 jufi 291: <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1.1 miod 292: floppy</i>.<br>
293: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
294:
295: <p>
1.4 henning 296: You can also write <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/miniroot32.fs</i> to the swap partition on
1.1 miod 297: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
298:
299: <p>
300: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64

304: <h3><font color="#e00000">Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
305: <ul>
306: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
307: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
308: in a separate archive. To extract:
309: <p>
310: <ul><pre>
311: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
312: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
313: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
314: </pre></ul>
315: <p>
316: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
317: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
318: To extract:
319: <p>
320: <ul><pre>
321: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
322: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
323: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
324: </pre></ul>
325: <p>
326: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
327: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.5 miod 328: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
1.1 miod 329: Using these files
330: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
331: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

337: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>

342: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
343: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
344: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
345: </pre></ul>
346: <p>
347: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
348: read <a href="ports.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
349: if you know nothing about ports
350: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
351: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
352: OpenBSD ports system.
353: <p>
354: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
355: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
356: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
357: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
358: <p>
359: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.21 jufi 360: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
1.1 miod 361: cvs(1)</a> if
362: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
363: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
364: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
365: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
366: like:
367: <p>
368: <ul><pre>
1.18 brad 369: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3_2</strong>
1.1 miod 370: </pre></ul>
371: <p>
372: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
373: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
374: server.]
375: <p>
376: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
377: packages for the 3.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
378: <p>
379: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
380: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
381: place to know.
