155: <li>resolv.conf.tail read only once, at startup.
156: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
1.49 sthen 157: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are constrained to be regular files.
1.40 krw 158: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
159: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
160: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
161: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
162: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
163: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
164: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
1.49 sthen 165: <li>allow empty lists of option names for 'ignore', 'request', and 'require' dhclient.conf directives, so lists can be reset in interface declarations.

1.37 sobrado 267: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
268: and
269: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
270: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
271: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
272: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
273: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
274: selection rules during key exchange.
275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
276: and
277: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
278: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
279: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
280: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
281: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
282: when available.
283: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
284: and
285: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
286: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
287: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
288: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
289: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
290: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
291: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
292: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
293: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
294: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
295: offered password authentication.
296: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
297: and
298: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
299: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
300: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
301: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
302: KRLs may be generated using
303: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
304: and are loaded into

310: <tt>IdentitiesOnly</tt> now applies to keys obtained from a
311: PKCS11Provider. This allows control of which keys are offered from
312: tokens using <tt>IdentityFile</tt>.
313: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
314: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>'s
315: AllowTcpForwarding now accepts "<tt>local</tt>" and "<tt>remote</tt>"
316: in addition to its previous "<tt>yes</tt>"/"<tt>no</tt>" keywords to
317: allow the server to specify whether just local or remote TCP
318: forwarding is enabled.
319: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
320: Added a
321: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
322: option <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommand</tt> to support fetching
323: authorized_keys from a command in addition to (or instead of) from
324: the filesystem. The command is run under an account specified by an
325: <tt>AuthorizedKeysCommandUser</tt>
326: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a>
327: option.
328: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
329: Now supports a <tt>-d</tt> option to allow the starting directory to
330: be something other than the user's home directory.
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
332: Now allows fingerprinting of keys hosted in PKCS#11 tokens using
333: "ssh-keygen -lD pkcs11_provider".
334: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
335: When SSH protocol 2 only is selected (the default),
336: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
337: now immediately sends its SSH protocol banner to the server without
338: waiting to receive the server's banner, saving time when connecting.
339: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
340: Added <tt>~v</tt> and <tt>~V</tt> escape sequences to raise and lower
341: the logging level respectively.
342: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
343: Made the escape command help (<tt>~?</tt>) context sensitive so that
344: only commands that will work in the current session are shown.
345: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
346: When deleting host lines from known_hosts using "ssh-keygen -R host",
347: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
348: now prints details of which lines were removed.

350: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
351: <ul>
1.37 sobrado 352: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
353: Force a clean shutdown of ControlMaster client sessions when the
354: <tt>~.</tt> escape sequence is used. This means that <tt>~.</tt>
355: should now work in mux clients even if the server is no longer
356: responding.
357: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
358: Correctly detect errors during local TCP forward setup in multiplexed
359: clients. (bz#2055)
360: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
361: Made deleting explicit keys "ssh-add -d" symmetric with adding keys
362: with respect to certificates. It now tries to delete the
363: corresponding certificate and respects the <tt>-k</tt> option to
364: allow deleting of the key only.
365: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:

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

1.1 sthen 385: the package build process
386: <ul>
1.28 espie 387: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
388: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
389: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
390: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
391: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 392: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

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

513: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
514: <ul>
515: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
516: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
517: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
518: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
519:
520: <p>
521: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
522: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
523:
524: <p>
525: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
526: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
527: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
528:
529: <p>
530: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
531: read INSTALL.i386.
532:
533: <p>
534: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
535: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
536: use the
1.11 sthen 537: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 sthen 538: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.11 sthen 539: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 sthen 540: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

837: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

845: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
846: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
847: server.]
848: <p>
849: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
850: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
851: <p>
852: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
