141: <li>dhclient-script eliminated, all configuration is done with ioctl's and routing sockets.
142: <li>interface configuration is much faster.
143: <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.

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

277: <li>OpenSSH 6.2:
278: <ul>
279: <li>New features:
280: <ul>
1.37 sobrado 281: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
282: and
283: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
284: Added support for AES-GCM authenticated encryption in SSH protocol 2.
285: The new cipher is available as "aes128-gcm@openssh.com" and
286: "aes256-gcm@openssh.com". It uses an identical packet format to the
287: AES-GCM mode specified in RFC 5647, but uses simpler and different
288: selection rules during key exchange.
289: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
290: and
291: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
292: Added support for encrypt-then-mac (EtM) MAC modes for SSH protocol 2.
293: These modes alter the packet format and compute the MAC over the
294: packet length and encrypted packet rather than over the plaintext
295: data. These modes are considered more secure and are used by default
296: when available.
297: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
298: and
299: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
300: Added support for the UMAC-128 MAC as "umac-128@openssh.com" and
301: "umac-128-etm@openssh.com". The latter being an encrypt-then-mac mode.
302: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
303: Added support for multiple required authentication in SSH protocol 2
304: via an <tt>AuthenticationMethods</tt> option. This option lists one
305: or more comma-separated lists of authentication method names.
306: Successful completion of all the methods in any list is required for
307: authentication to complete. This allows, for example, requiring a
308: user having to authenticate via public key or GSSAPI before they are
309: offered password authentication.
310: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
311: and
312: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
313: Added support for Key Revocation Lists (KRLs), a compact binary
314: format to represent lists of revoked keys and certificates that take
315: as little as one bit per certificate when revoking by serial number.
316: KRLs may be generated using
317: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
318: and are loaded into

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

381: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.69 bcallah 382: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensure that it shuts down
1.37 sobrado 383: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
384: around. (bz#1985)
385: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:

387: overwriting to allow resumption. (bz#1957)
388: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
389: Record "Received disconnect" messages at ERROR rather than INFO
390: priority. (bz#2057)
391: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

1.7 sthen 398: <li>Over 7,800 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.1 sthen 399: the package build process
400: <ul>
1.28 espie 401: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
402: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
403: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
404: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
405: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 406: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

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

526:
527: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
528: <ul>
529: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
530: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
531: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
532: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
533:
534: <p>
535: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
536: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
537:
538: <p>
539: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
540: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
541: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
542:
543: <p>
544: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
545: read INSTALL.i386.
546:
547: <p>
548: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
549: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
550: use the

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

1.17 rpe 848: source tree, our ports tree is available via
849: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
850: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 851: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

858: <p>
1.67 rpe 859: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1.1 sthen 860: server.]
861: <p>
862: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
863: packages for the 5.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
864: <p>
865: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
