68: <p>
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
1.21 jufi 119: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.19 miod 120: including:
1.8 henning 121: <ul>
122: <li>new "antispoof" keyword: spoofing protection made easy
123: <li>much simplified rule file language
124: <li>extended filtering capabilities
125: <li>control state table entries on a per-rule granularity
126: <li>support dynamic interface expansion. No more need to reload the ruleset
127: on IP changes.
128: </ul>
1.1 miod 129: <p>
130:
131: <li>A new tool,

134: level.
1.7 jufi 135: <p>
1.1 miod 136:
137: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
138: <p>
139: <ul>
1.20 jufi 140: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)
141: <li>gcc 2.95.3 (+ patches)

165: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
166: <p>
167: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
168: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
169: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
170: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
171: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
172: purchased a CDROM instead.
173: <p>
174:
175: <hr>
176: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
177: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.2 on your machine:

192: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
193: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
194: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
195: <p>
196:
197: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
198: <ul>
199: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
200: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
201: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 202: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 203:
204: <p>
1.3 jufi 205: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
206: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 207:
208: <p>
209: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
210:
211: <p>
212: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.21 jufi 213: 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 214:

216: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
217: </pre></ul>
218:
219: <p>
220: 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>.

226: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.2/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
227: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
228:
1.3 jufi 229: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppy32.fs</i> or
230: <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppyB32.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
1.1 miod 231: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.

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

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

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

290: <p>
291: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1.3 jufi 292: <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1.1 miod 293: floppy</i>.<br>
294: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
295:
296: <p>
1.4 henning 297: You can also write <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/miniroot32.fs</i> to the swap partition on
1.1 miod 298: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
299:
300: <p>

305: <h3><font color="#e00000">Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
306: <ul>
307: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
308: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
309: in a separate archive. To extract:

327: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
328: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1.5 miod 329: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
1.1 miod 330: Using these files
331: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

347: <p>
348: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

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