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

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

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

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