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
114: our packet filter, <a
115: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.8 henning 116: including:
1.1 miod 117: <ul>
1.8 henning 118: <li>the merge of altq, a bandwidth management system
119: <li>anchors, allowing subrulesets which can be loaded and modified independently
120: <li>tables, a very efficient way for large address lists in rules
1.9 henning 121: <li>address pools, redirect/NAT to multiple addresses and thus load balancing
1.8 henning 122: <li>a highly flexibilized configuration language
1.1 miod 123: </ul>
1.11 jason 124:

133: <p>

195: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
196: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
197: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
198: <p>
199:
200: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
201: <ul>
202: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
203: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
204: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
205: <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
206:
207: <p>
208: Use <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyB33.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
209: support, or <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyC33.fs</i> for better laptop support.
210:
211: <p>
212: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
213:
214: <p>
215: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
216: 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".
217:
218: <ul><pre>
219: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
220: </pre></ul>
221:
222: <p>
223: 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>.

230: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
231:

245: <ul>
246: 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.
247:
248: <ul><pre>
249: > <strong>boot cdrom 3.3/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
250: or
251: > <strong>b sd(0,6,0)3.3/sparc/bsd.rd</strong>
252: </pre></ul>
253:
254: <p>
255: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
256: 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.
257:
258: <ul><pre>
259: > <strong>boot floppy</strong>
260: or
261: > <strong>boot fd()</strong>

265: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install will most likely fail.
266:
267: <p>
268: If your sparc doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
269: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
270: INSTALL.sparc file.

279: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
280: <i>CD3:3.3/sparc64/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

359: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.

380: if you know nothing about ports
381: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
382: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

384: <p>
385: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
386: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
387: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
388: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).

390: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

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

404: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

406: <p>
407: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
408: packages for the 3.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
409: <p>
410: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
