285: support for <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>,

293: into
294: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>. The internal sftp server is
295: used when the command <em>"internal-sftp"</em> is specified in a Subsystem
296: or ForceCommand declaration. When used with <em>ChrootDirectory</em>, the
297: internal sftp server requires no special configuration of files
298: inside the chroot environment. Please refer to
299: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
300: for more information.</li>
301: <li>Added a protocol extension method "posix-rename@openssh.com" for
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>
303: to perform POSIX atomic rename() operations.</li>
304: <li>Removed the fixed limit of 100 file handles in
305: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>.
306: The server will now dynamically allocate handles up to the number of
307: available file descriptors.</li>
308: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
309: will now skip generation of SSH protocol 1 ephemeral server
310: keys when in inetd mode and protocol 2 connections are negotiated.
311: This speeds up protocol 2 connections to inetd-mode servers that
312: also allow Protocol 1.</li>

315: <em>Match</em>
316: block. Allows for, e.g. permitting root only from the local
317: network.</li>
318: <li>Reworked
319: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
320: argument splitting and escaping to be more
321: internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
322: consistent with
323: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sh&sektion=1">sh(1)</a>.
324: Please note that this will change the
325: interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
326: embedded backslash escape sequences.</li>
327: <li>Support <em>"Banner=none"</em> in
328: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
329: to disable sending of a

331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
332: <em>ProxyCommand</em>s are now executed with $SHELL rather than
333: /bin/sh.</li>
334: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)'s</a>
335: <em>ConnectTimeout</em> option is now applied to both the TCP
336: connection and the SSH banner exchange (previously it just covered
337: the TCP connection). This allows callers of
338: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
339: to better detect
340: and deal with stuck servers that accept a TCP connection but don't
341: progress the protocol, and also makes <em>ConnectTimeout</em> useful for
342: connections via a <em>ProxyCommand</em>.</li>
343: <li>Many new regression tests, including interop tests against PuTTY's
1.55 deraadt 344: plink.</li>
1.33 djm 345: </ul></li>
346: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
347: <ul>
348: <li>SSH2_MSG_UNIMPLEMENTED packets did not correctly reset the client
349: keepalive logic, causing disconnections on servers that did not
350: explicitly implement "keepalive@openssh.com".</li>
351: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
352: used the obselete SIG DNS RRtype for host keys in DNS,
353: instead of the current standard RRSIG.</li>
354: <li>Correctly drain ACKs when a
355: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
356: upload write fails midway,
357: avoids a fatal() exit from what should be a recoverable condition.</li>
358: <li>Fixed packet size advertisements. Previously TCP and agent
359: forwarding incorrectly advertised the channel window size as the
360: packet size, causing fatal errors under some conditions.</li>

480: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
481: <ul>
482: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
483: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
484: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
485: <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
486:
487: <p>
488: Use <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyB43.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
489: support, or <i>CD1:4.3/i386/floppyC43.fs</i> for better laptop support.
490:
491: <p>
492: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
493: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
494: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
495:
496: <p>
497: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
498: read INSTALL.i386.
499:
500: <p>
501: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
502: at <i>CD1:4.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
503: use the
504: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
505: utility. The following is an example usage of
506: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
507: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

511: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

515: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
516: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
517: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

526: your BIOS options first.
527: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
528: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
529: boot from the floppy drive.

722: in a separate archive. To extract:
723: <p>
724: <ul><pre>
725: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong>
726: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
727: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong>
728: </pre></ul>
729: <p>
730: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
731: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
732: To extract:
733: <p>
734: <ul><pre>
735: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>
736: # <strong>cd /usr/src</strong>
737: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong>
738: </pre></ul>
739: <p>
740: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
741: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
742: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
743: Using these files
744: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
745: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

763: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

771: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
772: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
773: if you know nothing about ports
774: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
775: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
776: OpenBSD ports system.
777: <p>
778: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
779: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
780: cvs(1)</a> if
781: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
782: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
783: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
784: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
785: like:
786: <p>
787: <ul><pre>
788: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_3</strong>
789: </pre></ul>
790: <p>
791: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
792: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
793: server.]
794: <p>
795: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
796: packages for the 4.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
797: <p>
798: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
799: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
800: place to know.
