287: framework allows for easy creation of rc scripts.
288: This framework is still evolving.
289: <li>Only a handful of packages have migrated for now.

1.3 deraadt 296: <ul>
297: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 298: <ul>
299: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
300: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
301: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
302: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
303: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
304: and
305: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
306: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
307: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
308: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
309: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
310: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
311: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
312: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
313: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
314: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
315: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
316: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
317: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
318: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
319: time.</li>
320: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
321: and
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
323: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
324: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
325: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
326: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
327: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
328: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
329: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
330: afterwards.</li>
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
332: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
333: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
334: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
335: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
336: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
338: and
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
340: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
341: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
342: used by
343: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
344: and
345: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
346: and their order of preference.</li>
347: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
348: and
349: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
350: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
351: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
352: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
353: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
354: limit option to
355: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>.

533: <ul>
534: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
535: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
536: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
537: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
538:
539: <p>
540: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
541: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
542:
543: <p>
544: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
545: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
546: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
547:
548: <p>
549: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
550: read INSTALL.i386.
551:
552: <p>
553: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
554: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
555: use the
556: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
557: utility. The following is an example usage of
558: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
559: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

577: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
578: your BIOS options first.
579: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
580: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
581: boot from the floppy drive.

837: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the

839: <p>
840: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

843: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
844: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
845: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
846: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
847: like:
848: <p>
849: <ul><pre>
850: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>
851: </pre></ul>
852: <p>
853: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
854: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
855: server.]
856: <p>
857: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
858: packages for the 4.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
859: <p>
860: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
861: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
862: place to know.
