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:
1.6 grange 83: <li>W^X (pronounced: "W xor X") binaries on ELF architectures. This is
1.1 miod 84: a fine-grained memory permissions layout, ensuring that memory which can be
1.6 grange 85: written to by application programs can not be executable at the same time
86: and vice versa. This raises the bar on potential buffer overflows and other
87: attacks.
1.1 miod 88: <p>
89:
1.2 deraadt 90: <li>Still more reduction in setuid and setgid binaries, and more chroot
91: use throughout the system.
1.1 miod 92: <p>
93:
94: <li>The X window system uses privilege separation, for better security.
95: <p>
96:
97: <li>As usual, improvements to the documentation, notably the man pages and
1.7 jsyn 98: the Web FAQ. An increasingly large part of the website is available in several
1.1 miod 99: languages.
100: <p>
101:
102: <li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
103: setuid/setgid ports have been significantly reduced as well. Many of the
104: ones that remain setuid have been modified to revoke privileges as early
105: as possible.
106: <p>
107:
108: <li>Over 2000 pre-built and tested packages.
109: <p>
110:
111: <li>Significant improvements to the pthread library.
112: <p>
113:
114: <li>An incredible amount of enhancements and stability improvements to
115: our packet filter, <a
116: href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4">pf</a>,
1.8 henning 117: including:
1.1 miod 118: <ul>
1.8 henning 119: <li>the merge of altq, a bandwidth management system
120: <li>anchors, allowing subrulesets which can be loaded and modified independently
121: <li>tables, a very efficient way for large address lists in rules
1.9 ! henning 122: <li>address pools, redirect/NAT to multiple addresses and thus load balancing
1.8 henning 123: <li>a highly flexibilized configuration language

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