299: used when the command <em>"internal-sftp"</em> is specified in a Subsystem
300: or ForceCommand declaration. When used with <em>ChrootDirectory</em>, the

322: <li>Reworked

324: argument splitting and escaping to be more
325: internally consistent (i.e. between sftp commands) and more
326: consistent with
327: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sh&sektion=1">sh(1)</a>.
328: Please note that this will change the
329: interpretation of some quoted strings, especially those with
330: embedded backslash escape sequences.</li>
331: <li>Support <em>"Banner=none"</em> in
332: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
333: to disable sending of a

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

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

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

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

528: The 4.3 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
529: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
530: your BIOS options first.
531: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
532: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.3/amd64/floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy, then
533: boot from the floppy drive.
534:

671: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
672: To do so you need to write <i>floppy43.fs</i> to a floppy.
673: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.1</a>.
674: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
675: depending on the version of your ROM.
676:
677: <ul><pre>
678: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
679: or
680: > <strong>b fd()</strong>
681: </pre></ul>
682:
683: <p>
684: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
685: will most likely fail.
686:
687: <p>
688: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
689: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
690: INSTALL.sparc file.

700: <p>
701: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can
702: setup a DHCP/tftp network server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd".

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

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

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