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

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

406: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

408:
409: <p>
410: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
411: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

419: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
420: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
421: your BIOS options first.
422: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
423: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
424: boot from the floppy drive.
425:
426: <p>
427: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
428: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

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