69: <h3><font color="#0000e0">What's New</font></h3>
70: <p>
71: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.3.
72: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus.html">changelog</a> leading
73: to 3.3.
74: <p>
75:
76: <ul>
77: <li>Integration of the
78: <a href="http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp">ProPolice</a>
79: stack protection technology into the system compiler. This protection is
80: enabled by default.
1.2 deraadt 81: <p>
1.1 miod 82:
1.10 ! deraadt 83: <li>W^X (pronounced: "W xor X") binaries on architectures capable of
! 84: pure execute-bit support in the MMU (sparc, sparc64, alpha,
! 85: hppa). This is a fine-grained memory permissions layout, ensuring that
! 86: memory which can be written to by application programs can not be
! 87: executable at the same time and vice versa. This raises the bar on
! 88: potential buffer overflows and other attacks.
1.1 miod 89: <p>
90:
1.2 deraadt 91: <li>Still more reduction in setuid and setgid binaries, and more chroot
92: use throughout the system.
1.1 miod 93: <p>
94:
95: <li>The X window system uses privilege separation, for better security.
96: <p>
97:
98: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
1.7 jsyn 99: the Web FAQ. An increasingly large part of the website is available in several
1.1 miod 100: languages.
101: <p>
102:
103: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
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.
107: <p>
108:
109: <li>Over 2000 pre-built and tested packages.
110: <p>
111:
112: <li>Significant improvements to the pthread library.
113: <p>
114:
115: <li>An incredible amount of enhancements and stability improvements to
116: our packet filter, <a
117: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.8 henning 118: including:
1.1 miod 119: <ul>
1.8 henning 120: <li>the merge of altq, a bandwidth management system
121: <li>anchors, allowing subrulesets which can be loaded and modified independently
122: <li>tables, a very efficient way for large address lists in rules
1.9 henning 123: <li>address pools, redirect/NAT to multiple addresses and thus load balancing
1.8 henning 124: <li>a highly flexibilized configuration language
1.1 miod 125: </ul>

159: <h3><font color="#0000e0">How to install</font></h3>
160: <p>
161: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
162: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
163: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
164: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
165: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
166: purchased a CDROM instead.
167: <p>
168:
169: <hr>
170: Please refer to the following files on the three CDROMs for extensive
171: details on how to install OpenBSD 3.3 on your machine:
172: <p>
173: <ul>
174: <li> CD1:3.3/i386/INSTALL.i386
175: <p>
176: <li> CD2:3.3/macppc/INSTALL.macppc
177: <li> CD2:3.3/vax/INSTALL.vax
178: <p>
179: <li> CD3:3.3/sparc/INSTALL.sparc
180: <li> CD3:3.3/sparc64/INSTALL.sparc64
181: </ul>
182: <hr>
183:
184: <p>
185: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
186: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
187: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
188: <p>
189:
190: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
191: <ul>
192: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
193: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
194: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
195: <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
196:
197: <p>
198: Use <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyB33.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
199: support, or <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyC33.fs</i> for better laptop support.
200:
201: <p>
202: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
203:
204: <p>
205: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
206: at <i>CD:/3.3/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".
207:
208: <ul><pre>
209: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
210: </pre></ul>
211:
212: <p>
213: 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>.
214: </ul>
215:
216: <p>
217: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3>
218: <ul>
219: Put the CD2 in your CDROM drive and poweron your machine while holding down the
220: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
221:
222: <p>
223: Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot
224: /3.3/macppc/bsd.rd</i>
225: </ul>
226:
227: <p>
228: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/vax:</font></h3>
229: <ul>
230: Boot over the network via mopbooting as described in INSTALL.vax.
231: </ul>
232:
233: <p>
234: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc:</font></h3>
235: <ul>
236: The 3.3 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.
237:
238: <ul><pre>
239: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.3/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
240: or
241: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.3/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
242: </pre></ul>
243:
244: <p>
245: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
246: To do so you need to write "CD3:3.3/sparc/floppy33.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.
247:
248: <ul><pre>
249: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
250: or
251: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>
252: </pre></ul>
253:
254: <p>
255: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
256:
257: <p>
258: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
259: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
260: INSTALL.sparc file.
261: </ul>
262:
263: <p>
264: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3>
265: <ul>
266: Put the CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
267:
268: <p>
269: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
270: <i>CD3:3.3/sparc64/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
271: floppy</i>.<br>
272: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
273:
274: <p>
275: You can also write <i>CD3:3.3/sparc64/miniroot33.fs</i> to the swap partition on
276: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.
277:
278: <p>
279: If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64
280: </ul>
281:
282: <p>
283: <h3><font color="#e00000">Notes about the source code:</font></h3>
284: <ul>
285: src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file
286: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
287: in a separate archive. To extract:
288: <p>
289: <ul><pre>
290: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
291: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
292: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
293: </pre></ul>
294: <p>
295: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
296: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
297: To extract:
298: <p>
299: <ul><pre>
300: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
301: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
302: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
303: </pre></ul>
304: <p>
305: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
306: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
307: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
308: Using these files
309: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
310: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.
311: <p>
312: </ul>
313: <a name="ports"></a>
314: <hr>
315: <p>
316: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
317: <p>
318: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
319: <p>
320: <ul><pre>
321: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
322: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
323: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
324: </pre></ul>
325: <p>
326: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
327: read <a href="ports.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
328: if you know nothing about ports
329: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
330: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
331: OpenBSD ports system.
332: <p>
333: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
334: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
335: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
336: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
337: <p>
338: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
340: cvs(1)</a> if
341: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
342: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
343: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
344: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
345: like:
346: <p>
347: <ul><pre>
348: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvsserver.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_3.3</strong>
349: </pre></ul>
350: <p>
351: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
352: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
353: server.]
354: <p>
355: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
356: packages for the 3.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
357: <p>
358: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
359: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
360: place to know.
