1.33 ! djm 208: <li>New features:
! 209: <ul>
! 210: <li>Added
! 211: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chroot&sektion=2">chroot(2)</a>
! 212: support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>,
! 213: controlled by a new option
! 214: <em>"ChrootDirectory"</em>. Please refer to
! 215: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
! 216: for details, and
! 217: please use this feature carefully.</li>
! 218: <li>Linked
! 219: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>
! 220: into
! 221: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>. The internal sftp server is
! 222: used when the command <em>"internal-sftp"</em> is specified in a Subsystem
! 223: or ForceCommand declaration. When used with <em>ChrootDirectory</em>, the
! 224: internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
! 225: inside the chroot environment. Please refer to
! 226: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
! 227: for more information.</li>
! 228: <li>Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
! 229: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>
! 230: to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations.</li>
! 231: <li>Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in
! 232: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>.
! 233: The server will now dynamically allocate handles up to the number of
! 234: available file descriptors.</li>
! 235: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
! 236: will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
! 237: keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
! 238: This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
! 239: also allow Protocol 1.</li>
! 240: <li>Accept the <em>PermitRootLogin</em> directive in a
! 241: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
! 242: <em>Match</em>
! 243: block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local
! 244: network.</li>
! 245: <li>Reworked
! 246: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
! 247: argument splitting and escaping to be more
! 248: internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
! 249: consistent with
! 250: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sh&sektion=1">sh(1)</a>.
! 251: Please note that this will change the
! 252: interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
! 253: embedded backslash escape sequences.</li>
! 254: <li>Support <em>"Banner=none"</em> in
! 255: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
! 256: to disable sending of a
! 257: pre-login banner (e.g. in a <em>Match</em> block).</li>
! 258: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
! 259: <em>ProxyCommand</em>s are now executed with $SHELL rather than
! 260: /bin/sh.</li>
! 261: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)'s</a>
! 262: <em>ConnectTimeout</em> option is now applied to both the TCP
! 263: connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
! 264: the TCP connection). This allows callers of
! 265: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
! 266: to better detect
! 267: and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
! 268: progress the protocol, and also makes <em>ConnectTimeout</em> useful for
! 269: connections via a <em>ProxyCommand</em>.</li>
! 270: <li>Many new regression tests, including interop tests against PuTTY's
! 271: plink</li>
! 272: </ul></li>
! 273: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
! 274: <ul>
! 275: <li>SSH2_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED packets did not correctly reset the client
! 276: keepalive logic, causing disconnections on servers that did not
! 277: explicitly implement "keepalive@openssh.com".</li>
! 278: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
! 279: used the obselete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
! 280: instead of the current standard RRSIG.</li>
! 281: <li>Correctly drain ACKs when a
! 282: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
! 283: upload write fails midway,
! 284: avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.</li>
! 285: <li>Fixed packet size advertisements. Previously TCP and agent
! 286: forwarding incorrectly advertised the channel window size as the
! 287: packet size, causing fatal errors under some conditions.</li>

402: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
403: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
404: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
405: <p>
406:
407: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
408: <ul>
409: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
410: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
411: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
412: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
413:
414: <p>
415: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
416: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
417:
418: <p>
419: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
420: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
421: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
422:
423: <p>
424: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
425: read INSTALL.i386.
426:
427: <p>
428: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
429: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
430: use the
431: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
432: utility. The following is an example usage of
433: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
434: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
435: "rfd0a".

438: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
439: </pre></ul>
440:
441: <p>
442: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
443: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
444: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
445: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.

451: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
452: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
453: your BIOS options first.
454: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
455: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
456: boot from the floppy drive.
457:
458: <p>
459: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
