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

369: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
370: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
371: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
372: <p>
373:
374: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
375: <ul>
376: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
377: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
378: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
379: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
380:
381: <p>
382: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
383: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
384:
385: <p>
386: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
387: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
388: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
389:
390: <p>
391: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
392: read INSTALL.i386.
393:
394: <p>
395: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
396: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
397: use the
398: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
399: utility. The following is an example usage of
400: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
401: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
402: "rfd0a".

404: <ul><pre>
405: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
406: </pre></ul>
407:
408: <p>
409: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
410: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
411: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

418: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
419: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
420: your BIOS options first.
421: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
422: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
423: boot from the floppy drive.
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 the included
428: INSTALL.amd64 document.

692: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>

695: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
696: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

698: <p>
699: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

701: <p>
702: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
703: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
704: place to know.
