134:
135: <li>Generic network stack improvements:
136: <ul>
1.7 dlg 137: <li>Reworking of the MCLGETI livelock algorithm to improve
138: forwarding and host performance under high network load.</li>
1.11 ! jj 139: <li>Added support for socket splicing.
! 140: <li>Added AES-GMAC support for IPSec.
1.3 deraadt 141: </ul>
142: <p>
143:
144: <li>SCSI improvements:
145: <ul>
1.6 dlg 146: <li>Improved safety when detaching SCSI devices by waiting for
147: the completion of pending commands.</li>
148: <li>Improved hotplug support on mpi(4), mpii(4).</li>
149: <li>Continued iopoolification of SCSI drivers, notably on
150: umass(4) which improves the reliability and performance of
151: multi-LUN devices.</li>
1.11 ! jj 152: <li>Added vscsi(4), a driver for userland handling of scsi device commands.
! 153: <li>Added iscsid(8), an iSCSI initiator.
1.3 deraadt 154: </ul>
155: <p>
156:

158: <ul>
1.11 ! jj 159: <li>Enabled wide character support in ncurses(3).
! 160: <li>Added nsd(8), an authoritative name server implementation.
1.3 deraadt 161: </ul>
162: <p>
163:
164: <li>Install/Upgrade process changes:
165: <ul>
1.8 deraadt 166: <li>Fixed the hppa CD installation process.
167: <li>Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.

1.11 ! jj 174: <li>Installer now defaults to not checking non-root filesystems

1.4 sobrado 178: <li>OpenSSH 5.8:
1.3 deraadt 179: <ul>
180: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 181: <ul>
182: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
183: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
184: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
185: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
186: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
187: and
188: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
189: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
190: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
191: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
192: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
193: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
194: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
195: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
196: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
197: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
198: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
199: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
200: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
201: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
202: time.</li>
203: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
204: and
205: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
206: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
207: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
208: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
209: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
210: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
211: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
212: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
213: afterwards.</li>
214: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
215: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
216: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
217: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
218: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
219: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
220: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
221: and
222: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
223: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
224: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
225: used by
226: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
227: and
228: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
229: and their order of preference.</li>
230: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
231: and
232: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
233: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
234: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
235: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
236: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
237: limit option to
238: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>.

254: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:

257: particularly useful in this case. (bz#1837)</li>

415: <ul>
416: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
417: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
418: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
419: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
420:
421: <p>
422: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
423: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
424:
425: <p>
426: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
427: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
428: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
429:
430: <p>
431: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
432: read INSTALL.i386.
433:
434: <p>
435: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
436: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
437: use the
438: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
439: utility. The following is an example usage of
440: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
441: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
442: "rfd0a".

445: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
446: </pre></ul>
447:
448: <p>
449: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
450: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
451: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
