217: <ul>
218: <li>Added
219: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=chroot&sektion=2">chroot(2)</a>
220: support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>,
221: controlled by a new option
222: <em>"ChrootDirectory"</em>. Please refer to
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
224: for details, and
225: please use this feature carefully.</li>
226: <li>Linked
227: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>
228: into
229: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>. The internal sftp server is
230: used when the command <em>"internal-sftp"</em> is specified in a Subsystem
231: or ForceCommand declaration. When used with <em>ChrootDirectory</em>, the
232: internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
233: inside the chroot environment. Please refer to
234: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
235: for more information.</li>

240: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>.
241: The server will now dynamically allocate handles up to the number of
242: available file descriptors.</li>
243: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
244: will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
245: keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
246: This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
247: also allow Protocol 1.</li>
248: <li>Accept the <em>PermitRootLogin</em> directive in a
249: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
250: <em>Match</em>
251: block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local
252: network.</li>
253: <li>Reworked
254: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
255: argument splitting and escaping to be more
256: internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
257: consistent with
258: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sh&sektion=1">sh(1)</a>.
259: Please note that this will change the
260: interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
261: embedded backslash escape sequences.</li>
262: <li>Support <em>"Banner=none"</em> in
263: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
264: to disable sending of a
265: pre-login banner (e.g. in a <em>Match</em> block).</li>
266: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
267: <em>ProxyCommand</em>s are now executed with $SHELL rather than
268: /bin/sh.</li>
269: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)'s</a>
270: <em>ConnectTimeout</em> option is now applied to both the TCP
271: connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
272: the TCP connection). This allows callers of
273: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
274: to better detect
275: and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
276: progress the protocol, and also makes <em>ConnectTimeout</em> useful for

412: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

450: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
451: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

459: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
460: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
461: your BIOS options first.
462: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
463: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
464: boot from the floppy drive.
465:
