146: <li>dhclient-script eliminated, all configuration is done with ioctl's and routing sockets.
147: <li>interface configuration is much faster.
148: <li>HUP signals cause dhclient to restart; making it re-read the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhclient.conf&sektion=5">dhclient.conf(5)</a> and <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=resolv.conf.tail&sektion=5">resolv.conf.tail(5)</a> files, and obtain a new lease.

151: <li>inteface hardware address changes are detected and cause dhclient to restart.
152: <li>dhclient.conf directive 'ignore' and command line option '-i' added, allowing the suppression of specific options offered by server.
153: <li>'-L' command line option added, allowing the creation of a complete record of the most recent offer and what we modified it to when binding the lease.
154: <li>rejected offers no longer prevent dhclient from trying recorded leases and going daemon.
155: <li>cleanup of routing tables when starting and exiting is more complete.
156: <li>log messages cleaned up and reduced.
157: <li>dhclient is automatically placed in the routing domain of the interface.
158: <li>incoming and outgoing packet buffers are separate, eliminating possible transmission of inappropriate packets when re-trying DISCOVER and REQUEST.
159: <li>resolv.conf.tail read only once, at startup.
160: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
161: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are contrained to be regular files.
162: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
163: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
164: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
165: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
166: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
167: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
168: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
169: <li>allow empty lists of option names for 'ignore', 'request', and'require' dhclient.conf directives, so lists can be reset in interface declarations.
1.41 krw 170: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dhcpd&sektion=8">dhcpd(8)</a> and dhclient recognize the same list of dhcp options.

1.37 sobrado 270: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
271: and
272: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
273: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
274: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
275: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
276: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
277: selection rules during key exchange.
278: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
279: and
280: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
281: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
282: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
283: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
284: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
285: when available.
286: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
287: and
288: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
289: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
290: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
291: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
292: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
293: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
294: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
295: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
296: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
297: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
298: offered password authentication.
299: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
300: and
301: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
302: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
303: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
304: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
305: KRLs may be generated using
306: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
307: and are loaded into

312: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
313: <tt>IdentitiesOnly</tt> now applies to keys obtained from a
314: PKCS11Provider. This allows control of which keys are offered from
315: tokens using <tt>IdentityFile</tt>.
316: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
317: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>'s
318: AllowTcpForwarding now accepts "<tt>local</tt>" and "<tt>remote</tt>"
319: in addition to its previous "<tt>yes</tt>"/"<tt>no</tt>" keywords to
320: allow the server to specify whether just local or remote TCP
321: forwarding is enabled.
322: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
323: Added a
324: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
325: option <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommand</tt> to support fetching
326: authorized_keys from a command in addition to (or instead of) from
327: the filesystem. The command is run under an account specified by an
328: <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommandUser</tt>
329: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
330: option.
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
332: Now supports a <tt>-d</tt> option to allow the starting directory to
333: be something other than the user's home directory.
334: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
335: Now allows fingerprinting of keys hosted in PKCS#11 tokens using
336: "ssh-keygen -lD pkcs11_provider".
337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
338: When SSH protocol 2 only is selected (the default),
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
340: now immediately sends its SSH protocol banner to the server without
341: waiting to receive the server's banner, saving time when connecting.
342: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
343: Added <tt>~v</tt> and <tt>~V</tt> escape sequences to raise and lower
344: the logging level respectively.
345: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
346: Made the escape command help (<tt>~?</tt>) context sensitive so that
347: only commands that will work in the current session are shown.
348: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
349: When deleting host lines from known_hosts using "ssh-keygen -R host",
350: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
351: now prints details of which lines were removed.
1.1 sthen 352: </ul>
353: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
354: <ul>
1.37 sobrado 355: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
356: Force a clean shutdown of ControlMaster client sessions when the
357: <tt>~.</tt> escape sequence is used. This means that <tt>~.</tt>
358: should now work in mux clients even if the server is no longer
359: responding.
360: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
361: Correctly detect errors during local TCP forward setup in multiplexed
362: clients. (bz#2055)
363: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
364: Made deleting explicit keys "ssh-add -d" symmetric with adding keys
365: with respect to certificates. It now tries to delete the
366: corresponding certificate and respects the <tt>-k</tt> option to
367: allow deleting of the key only.
368: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:

370: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
371: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensured that it shuts down
372: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
373: around. (bz#1985)
374: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
375: When screening moduli candidates, append to the file rather than
376: overwriting to allow resumption. (bz#1957)
377: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
378: Record "Received disconnect" messages at ERROR rather than INFO
379: priority. (bz#2057)
380: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
381: Loudly warn if explicitly-provided private key is unreadable.

1.1 sthen 388: the package build process
389: <ul>
1.28 espie 390: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
391: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
392: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
393: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
394: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 395: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

516: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
517: <ul>
518: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
519: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
520: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
521: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
522:
523: <p>
524: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
525: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
526:
527: <p>
528: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
529: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
530: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
531:
532: <p>
533: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
534: read INSTALL.i386.
535:
536: <p>
537: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
538: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
539: use the
1.11 sthen 540: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 541: utility. The following is an example usage of

563: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
564: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.3/amd64/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy, then
565: boot from the floppy drive.

831: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
832: OpenBSD ports system.
833: <p>
834: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.11 sthen 835: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

837: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
1.17 rpe 838: source tree, our ports tree is available via
839: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
840: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 841: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
842: like:
843: <p>
844: <ul><pre>
845: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_3</strong>
846: </pre></ul>
847: <p>
848: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
849: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
850: server.]
851: <p>
852: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
853: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
854: <p>
855: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
856: would like to know more, the mailing list
857: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
