1.3 deraadt 134: <ul>
135: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 136: <ul>
137: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
138: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
139: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
140: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
141: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
142: and
143: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
144: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
145: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
146: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
147: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
148: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
149: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
150: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
151: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
152: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
153: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
154: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
155: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
156: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
157: time.</li>
158: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
159: and
160: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
161: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
162: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
163: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
164: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
165: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
166: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
167: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
168: afterwards.</li>
169: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
170: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
171: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
172: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
173: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
174: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
175: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
176: and
177: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
178: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
179: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
180: used by
181: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
182: and
183: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
184: and their order of preference.</li>
185: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
186: and
187: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
188: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
189: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
190: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
191: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
192: limit option to

364: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
365: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
366: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

368:
369: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
370: <ul>
371: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
372: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
373: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
374: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
375:
376: <p>
377: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
378: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
379:
380: <p>
381: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
382: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
383: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
387: read INSTALL.i386.
388:
389: <p>
390: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
391: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
392: use the
393: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
394: utility. The following is an example usage of
395: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
396: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

403: <p>
404: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
405: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
406: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

414: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust

694: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
