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
1.16 ! henning 123: <li>tcp window scaling support
! 124: <li>full CIDR support
! 125: <li>checksum verification to not return on invalid packets
! 126: <li>performace boost: large rulesets load much faster now
1.1 miod 127: </ul>
1.11 jason 128:
129: <p>
130:
131: <li>Much improved <a href="sparc64.html">sparc64</a> support: support for
1.13 miod 132: more models and several major bugs eradicated.
1.8 henning 133:
1.1 miod 134: <p>

136: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
137: <p>

139: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)

169: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
170: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
171: form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
172: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

199: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
200: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
201: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
202: <p>
203:
204: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
205: <ul>
206: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
207: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
208: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
209: <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
210:
211: <p>
212: Use <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyB33.fs</i> instead for greater scsi controller
213: support, or <i>CD1:3.3/i386/floppyC33.fs</i> for better laptop support.
214:
215: <p>
216: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to read the included INSTALL.i386 document.
217:
218: <p>
219: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
220: 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".
221:
222: <ul><pre>
223: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
224: </pre></ul>
225:
226: <p>
227: 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>.

234: <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>.
235:

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

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

284: <i>CD3:3.3/sparc64/floppy33.fs</i> to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot

342: contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
343: in a separate archive. To extract:

350: <p>
351: srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

358: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</strong>
359: </pre></ul>
360: <p>
361: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
362: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
363: described at <a href="anoncvs.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.
364: Using these files
365: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

379: # <strong>cd ports</strong>

381: <p>
382: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
383: read <a href="ports.html">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ports.html</a>
384: if you know nothing about ports
385: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
386: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
387: OpenBSD ports system.
388: <p>
389: Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. It is doubtful it
390: will ever be. However, it is growing very fast and getting more stable.
391: Almost all ports provided with this release should build without problems
392: on most architectures (over 2000 packages build on i386, for instance).
393: <p>
394: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

397: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
398: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
399: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
400: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
401: like:
402: <p>
403: <ul><pre>

1.1 miod 405: </pre></ul>
406: <p>
407: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
408: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
409: server.]
410: <p>
411: Note that most ports are available as packages through ftp. Updated
412: packages for the 3.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
413: <p>
414: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
415: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
416: place to know.
