What's New

!

This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 4.9. For a comprehensive list, see the changelog leading to 4.9. *************** *** 62,69 ****

  • OpenBSD/amd64 and OpenBSD/i386:
  • OpenBSD/sparc64: *************** *** 95,142 ****
  • Improved hardware support, including:

    --- 107,154 ----

  • Improved hardware support, including:

    *************** *** 144,186 ****

  • OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD and other routing daemon improvements:

  • pf(4) improvements:

  • OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD and other routing daemon improvements:

    !

  • pf(4) improvements:

    *************** *** 190,196 ****

  • ARC4 based PRNG code was audited and revamped.
  • New explicit_bzero kernel function was introduced to prevent a compiler from optimizing ! bzero calls away.

    --- 202,208 ----

  • ARC4 based PRNG code was audited and revamped.
  • New explicit_bzero kernel function was introduced to prevent a compiler from optimizing ! bzero calls away.

    *************** *** 199,240 ****

  • Assorted improvements:

    !

  • New rc.d(8) for starting, stopping and reconfiguring package daemons:

    *************** *** 303,395 **** and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.

    • !
  • sftp(1) and ! sftp-server(8): add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln" behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option or through the preexisting "symlink" command.
    • !
  • scp(1): Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is copied directly between the two remote hosts.
    • !
  • ssh(1): automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys, since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first time.
    • !
  • ssh(1) and ! sshd(8): add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)
    • !
  • sftp(1): the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again afterwards.
    • !
  • ssh(1): "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)
    • !
  • ssh(1) and ! sshd(8): add a KexAlgorithms knob to the client and server configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are used by ! ssh(1) and ! sshd(8) and their order of preference.
    • !
  • sftp(1) and ! scp(1): factor out bandwidth limiting code from ! scp(1) into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the atomicio callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth limit option to ! sftp(1). (bz#1147)

    Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write *************** *** 556,581 **** To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located at CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, use the ! dd(1) utility. The following is an example usage of ! dd(1), where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or "rfd0a". !

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