67: <h3><font color="#0000e0">What's New</font></h3>
68: <p>
69: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.3.
70: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus.html">changelog</a> leading
71: to 3.3.
72: <p>
73:
74: <ul>
75: <li>Integration of the
76: <a href="http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp">ProPolice</a>
77: stack protection technology into the system compiler. This protection is
78: enabled by default.
1.2 deraadt 79: <p>
1.1 miod 80:
1.10 deraadt 81: <li>W^X (pronounced: "W xor X") binaries on architectures capable of
82: pure execute-bit support in the MMU (sparc, sparc64, alpha,
83: hppa). This is a fine-grained memory permissions layout, ensuring that
84: memory which can be written to by application programs can not be
85: executable at the same time and vice versa. This raises the bar on
86: potential buffer overflows and other attacks.
1.1 miod 87: <p>
88:
1.2 deraadt 89: <li>Still more reduction in setuid and setgid binaries, and more chroot
90: use throughout the system.
1.1 miod 91: <p>
92:
93: <li>The X window system uses privilege separation, for better security.
94: <p>
95:
96: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
1.7 jsyn 97: the Web FAQ. An increasingly large part of the website is available in several
1.1 miod 98: languages.
99: <p>
100:
101: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
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.
105: <p>
106:
107: <li>Over 2000 pre-built and tested packages.
108: <p>
109:
110: <li>Significant improvements to the pthread library.
111: <p>
112:
113: <li>An incredible amount of enhancements and stability improvements to

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