1.33 djm 300: into
1.101 bentley 301: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>. The internal sftp server is
1.33 djm 302: used when the command <em>"internal-sftp"</em> is specified in a Subsystem
303: or ForceCommand declaration. When used with <em>ChrootDirectory</em>, the
304: internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
305: inside the chroot environment. Please refer to
1.101 bentley 306: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5">sshd_config(5)</a>
1.102 ! deraadt 307: for more information.
1.33 djm 308: <li>Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
1.101 bentley 309: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp-server.8">sftp-server(8)</a>
1.102 ! deraadt 310: to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations.
1.33 djm 311: <li>Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in
1.101 bentley 312: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp-server.8">sftp-server(8)</a>.
1.33 djm 313: The server will now dynamically allocate handles up to the number of
1.102 ! deraadt 314: available file descriptors.
1.101 bentley 315: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
1.33 djm 316: will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
317: keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
318: This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
1.102 ! deraadt 319: also allow Protocol 1.
1.33 djm 320: <li>Accept the <em>PermitRootLogin</em> directive in a

1.33 djm 322: <em>Match</em>
323: block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local
1.102 ! deraadt 324: network.
1.33 djm 325: <li>Reworked
1.101 bentley 326: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>
1.33 djm 327: argument splitting and escaping to be more
328: internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
329: consistent with
1.101 bentley 330: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sh.1">sh(1)</a>.
1.33 djm 331: Please note that this will change the
332: interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
1.102 ! deraadt 333: embedded backslash escape sequences.
1.33 djm 334: <li>Support <em>"Banner=none"</em> in
1.101 bentley 335: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd_config.5">sshd_config(5)</a>
1.33 djm 336: to disable sending of a
1.102 ! deraadt 337: pre-login banner (e.g. in a <em>Match</em> block).
1.101 bentley 338: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
1.33 djm 339: <em>ProxyCommand</em>s are now executed with $SHELL rather than
1.102 ! deraadt 340: /bin/sh.
1.101 bentley 341: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)'s</a>
1.33 djm 342: <em>ConnectTimeout</em> option is now applied to both the TCP
343: connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
344: the TCP connection). This allows callers of
1.101 bentley 345: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
1.33 djm 346: to better detect
347: and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
348: progress the protocol, and also makes <em>ConnectTimeout</em> useful for
1.102 ! deraadt 349: connections via a <em>ProxyCommand</em>.
1.33 djm 350: <li>Many new regression tests, including interop tests against PuTTY's
1.102 ! deraadt 351: plink.
! 352: </ul>
1.33 djm 353: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
354: <ul>
355: <li>SSH2_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED packets did not correctly reset the client
356: keepalive logic, causing disconnections on servers that did not
1.102 ! deraadt 357: explicitly implement "keepalive@openssh.com".
1.101 bentley 358: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>
1.61 okan 359: used the obsolete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
1.102 ! deraadt 360: instead of the current standard RRSIG.
1.33 djm 361: <li>Correctly drain ACKs when a
1.101 bentley 362: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>
1.33 djm 363: upload write fails midway,
1.102 ! deraadt 364: avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.
1.33 djm 365: <li>Fixed packet size advertisements. Previously TCP and agent
366: forwarding incorrectly advertised the channel window size as the
1.102 ! deraadt 367: packet size, causing fatal errors under some conditions.
1.33 djm 368: <li><em>Many more bugfixes. Please refer to the

441:
1.1 david 442: <p>
443: Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
444: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
445: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
446: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
447: so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
448: purchased a CDROM instead.
449: <p>
450:

1.1 david 480: <p>
481: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
482: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
483: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.101 bentley 484:
485: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
486:
1.1 david 487: <p>
488: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
489: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
490: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
491: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
492:
493: <p>
494: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
495: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
496:
497: <p>
498: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
499: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
500: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
501:
502: <p>
503: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
504: read INSTALL.i386.
505:
506: <p>
507: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
508: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
509: use the
1.101 bentley 510: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 david 511: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.101 bentley 512: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 david 513: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
514: "rfd0a".
515:
1.101 bentley 516: <blockquote><pre>
1.1 david 517: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
1.101 bentley 518: </pre></blockquote>
1.1 david 519:
520: <p>
521: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
522: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
523: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.95 tj 524: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.101 bentley 525:
526: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.1 david 527:
528: <p>
529: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
530: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
531: your BIOS options first.
532: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
533: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
534: boot from the floppy drive.
535:
536: <p>
537: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
538: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
539: INSTALL.amd64 document.
540:
541: <p>
542: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
543: read INSTALL.amd64.

558: Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>.
559:
560: <p>
561: If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write
562: <i>CD3:4.3/sparc64/floppy43.fs</i> or <i>CD3:4.3/sparc64/floppyB43.fs</i>
563: (depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot
564: floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details.
565:
566: <p>
567: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
568: will most likely fail.
569:
570: <p>
571: You can also write <i>CD3:4.3/sparc64/miniroot43.fs</i> to the swap partition on
572: the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>.

725: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
726: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
727: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
728: Using these files
729: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
730: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

758: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

762: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
763: OpenBSD ports system.
764: <p>
765: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

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

1.101 bentley 774: <blockquote><pre>

778: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
779: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
780: server.]
781: <p>
782: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
783: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
784: <p>
785: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
786: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
787: place to know.
