55: <p>
56: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.2.
1.15 miod 57: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus32.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 miod 58: to 3.2.
59: <p>
60:
61: <ul>
62: <li><a href="http://www.OpenSSH.com">OpenSSH</a> (supporting both the
1.2 mpech 63: SSH1 and SSH2 protocols) is now at version 3.5. Privilege separation is
1.1 miod 64: now enabled by default for greater robustness.
65: <p>
66:
1.12 deraadt 67: <li>Non-executable stack on i386, sparc, sparc64, alpha, powerpc.
68: No-exec data and bss on sparc, sparc64, and alpha. This makes some
69: classes of future potential buffer overflows unexploitable.
70: <p>
71:
72: <li>Apache runs chroot'd by default. To disable this, see the new <b>-u</b>
73: option.
74: <p>
75:
1.13 deraadt 76: <li>A very significant reduction in setuid binaries. Many of those binaries
77: which still retain setuid have been modified so the operations needing root
1.14 deraadt 78: are done early on, and then privilege is revoked immediately after that.
1.13 deraadt 79: <p>
80:
1.11 deraadt 81: <li>Asymmetric and symmetric hardware encryption support is now enabled by
1.10 deraadt 82: default, if you have such devices in your machine.
83: <p>
84:
1.1 miod 85: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
86: the Web FAQ. A larger part of the website is now available in several
87: languages.
88: <p>
89:
90: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
1.16 pvalchev 91: setuid/setgid ports have been significantly reduced as well. Many of the
92: ones that remain setuid have been modified to revoke privileges as early
93: as possible.
1.1 miod 94: <p>
95:
1.16 pvalchev 96: <li>Over 1800 pre-built and tested packages.
1.1 miod 97: <p>
98:
99: <li>Better video and X11 support for the
100: <a href="sparc.html">OpenBSD/sparc</a>,
101: <a href="sparc64.html">OpenBSD/sparc64</a> and
102: <a href="alpha.html">OpenBSD/alpha</a> ports.
103: <p>
104:
105: <li>A lot of enhancements and stability improvements to our packet filter, <a
1.21 jufi 106: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.19 miod 107: including:
1.8 henning 108: <ul>
109: <li>new "antispoof" keyword: spoofing protection made easy
110: <li>much simplified rule file language
111: <li>extended filtering capabilities
112: <li>control state table entries on a per-rule granularity
113: <li>support dynamic interface expansion. No more need to reload the ruleset
114: on IP changes.
115: </ul>
1.1 miod 116: <p>
117:
118: <li>A new tool,
1.21 jufi 119: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=systrace&sektion=4">systrace</a>,
1.1 miod 120: for controlling in detail applications behaviour and rights at the system call
121: level.
1.7 jufi 122: <p>
1.1 miod 123:
124: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
125: <p>
126: <ul>
1.20 jufi 127: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)
128: <li>gcc 2.95.3 (+ patches)

152: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
153: <p>
154: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
155: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
156: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
157: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
158: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
159: purchased a CDROM instead.
160: <p>
161:
162: <hr>
163: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
164: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.2 on your machine:

179: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
180: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
181: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
182: <p>
183:
184: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
185: <ul>
186: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
187: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
188: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
1.3 jufi 189: <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
1.1 miod 190:
191: <p>
1.3 jufi 192: Use <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyB32.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
193: support, or <i>CD1:3.2/i386/floppyC32.fs</i> for better laptop support.
1.1 miod 194:
195: <p>
196: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
197:
198: <p>
199: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
1.21 jufi 200: 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 201:

203: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
204: </pre></ul>
205:
206: <p>
207: 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>.

210: <p>
211: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3>
212: <ul>
213: At the SRM prompt, enter <i>boot -fi 3.2/alpha/bsd.rd dka6</i> where <i>dka6</i>
214: is the short name for the CDROM drive (you can check with <i>show dev</i>).
215:
1.3 jufi 216: <p>If you can't boot from CDROM, write <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppy32.fs</i> or
217: <i>CD1:3.2/alpha/floppyB32.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and
1.1 miod 218: enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details.

243: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
244: <ul>
245: 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.
246:
247: <ul><pre>
248: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
249: or
250: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.2/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
251: </pre></ul>
252:
253: <p>
254: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.3 jufi 255: 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 256:
257: <ul><pre>
258: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
259: or
260: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>

262:
263: <p>
264: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
265:
266: <p>
267: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
268: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
269: INSTALL.sparc file.
270: </ul>
271:
272: <p>
273: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>

275: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
276:
277: <p>
278: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
1.3 jufi 279: <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/floppy32.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
1.1 miod 280: floppy</i>.<br>
281: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
282:
283: <p>
1.4 henning 284: You can also write <i>CD3:3.2/sparc64/miniroot32.fs</i> to the swap partition on
1.1 miod 285: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
286:
287: <p>
288: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64

1.1 miod 337: if you know nothing about ports
338: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
339: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
340: OpenBSD ports system.
341: <p>
342: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
343: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
344: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
345: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
346: <p>
347: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.21 jufi 348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">

351: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
352: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
353: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

359: <p>
360: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
361: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
362: server.]
363: <p>
364: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
365: packages for the 3.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
366: <p>
367: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
368: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
369: place to know.
