221: <li>Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.
222: <li>Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this
223: had been broken a very long time and noone noticed).
224: <li>Teach the install script about the configuration of 802.11 interfaces.
225: Visible networks can be listed, and even configured for WPA.
226: <li>The install script now passes collected entropy better to the
227: system which is booted next.
1.15 krw 228: <li>Upgrade now defaults to checking only the root filesystem.
229: <li>Upgrade no longer checks filesystems with a fs_passno of 0.
230: <li>Upgrade now asks if it should proceed even if one or more filesystem mounts fail.
231: <li>Installer now configures <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ntpd&sektion=8">ntpd(8)</a> to use all provided time source IPs.
1.3 deraadt 232: </ul>
233: <p>
234:
1.12 ajacouto 235: <li>New <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.d&sektion=8">rc.d(8)</a>
236: for starting, stopping and reconfiguring package daemons:
237: <ul>
238: <li>The <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.subr&sektion=8">rc.subr(8)</a>
239: framework allows for easy creation of rc scripts.
240: This framework is still evolving.
241: <li>Only a handful of packages have migrated for now.
242: <li>rc.local can still be used instead of or in addition to
243: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=rc.d&sektion=8">rc.d(8)</a>.
244: </ul>
245: <p>
246:
1.4 sobrado 247: <li>OpenSSH 5.8:
1.3 deraadt 248: <ul>
249: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 250: <ul>
251: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
252: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
253: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
254: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
255: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
256: and
257: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
258: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
259: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
260: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
261: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
262: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
263: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
264: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
265: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
266: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
267: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
268: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
269: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
270: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
271: time.</li>
272: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
273: and
274: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
275: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
276: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
277: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
278: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
279: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
280: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
281: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
282: afterwards.</li>
283: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
284: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
285: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
286: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
287: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
288: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
289: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
290: and
291: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
292: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
293: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
294: used by
295: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
296: and
297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
298: and their order of preference.</li>
299: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
300: and
301: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
302: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
303: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
304: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the

483: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
484: <ul>
485: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
486: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
487: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
488: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
489:
490: <p>
491: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
492: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
493:
494: <p>
495: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
496: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
497: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
498:
499: <p>
500: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
501: read INSTALL.i386.
502:
503: <p>
504: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
505: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
506: use the
507: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
508: utility. The following is an example usage of
509: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
510: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

530: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
531: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
532: boot from the floppy drive.

753: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
754: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
755: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
756: Using these files
757: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
758: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

784: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
785: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
786: if you know nothing about ports
787: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
788: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
789: OpenBSD ports system.
790: <p>
791: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
792: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
793: cvs(1)</a> if
794: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
795: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
796: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
797: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
798: like:
799: <p>
800: <ul><pre>
801: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>
802: </pre></ul>
803: <p>
804: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
805: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
806: server.]
807: <p>
808: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
809: packages for the 4.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
810: <p>
811: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
812: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
813: place to know.
