68: <p>
69: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 3.3.
1.18 deraadt 70: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus33.html">changelog</a> leading
1.1 miod 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>
1.17 deraadt 118: <li>Queue, a bandwidth management system (uses altq underneath)
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
121: <li>Address pools, redirect/NAT to multiple addresses and thus load balancing
122: <li>Configuration language has been made much more flexible
123: <li>TCP window scaling support
124: <li>Full CIDR support
125: <li>Early checksum verification return on invalid packets
126: <li>Performance 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>
135:
136: <li>The system includes the following major components from outside suppliers:
137: <ul>
138: <li>XFree86 4.2.1 (and i386 contains 3.3.X servers also, thus providing support for all chipsets)
1.4 miod 139: <li>Gcc 2.95.3 (+ patches)
140: <li>Perl 5.8.0 (+ patches)
1.3 henning 141: <li>Apache 1.3.27, mod_ssl 2.8.12, DSO support (+ patches)

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

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

221: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
222: </pre></ul>
223:
224: <p>
1.18 deraadt 225: 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#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>.

248: 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.

256: <p>
257: If your sparc does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1.18 deraadt 258: 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#MkFlop">FAQ4.1</a>. To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below, depending on the version of your ROM.

1.18 deraadt 361: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

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

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

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