129: <li>dhclient-script eliminated, all configuration is done with ioctl's and routing sockets.
130: <li>interface configuration is much faster.
131: <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.

142: <li>resolv.conf.tail read only once, at startup.
143: <li>both OFFER and ACK packets that lack required options are rejected.
1.49 sthen 144: <li>file names passed to '-L' and '-l' are constrained to be regular files.
1.40 krw 145: <li>bind success reported after binding complete, not when it is started.
146: <li>privileged process daemonizes, eliminating its controlling terminal.
147: <li>STDIN/STDOUT/STDERR no longer redirected to /dev/null when '-d' specified.
148: <li>all existing addresses on the interface are deleted when binding a new lease.
149: <li>leases which would cause routing problems because another interface is already configured with the same subnet are rejected.
150: <li>premature and repeated DISCOVER and/or REQUEST messages at startup are avoided.
151: <li>permanent ARP cache entries are no longer deleted during binding.
1.49 sthen 152: <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 153: <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.
1.40 krw 154: <li>hand-rolled IMSG implementation replaced with <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=imsg_init&sektion=3">imsg_init(3)</a> and related functions..

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

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

369: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.69 bcallah 370: When muxmaster is run with <tt>-N</tt>, ensure that it shuts down
1.37 sobrado 371: gracefully when a client sends it "-O stop" rather than hanging
372: around. (bz#1985)
373: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:

376: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
377: Record "Received disconnect" messages at ERROR rather than INFO
378: priority. (bz#2057)
379: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

1.7 sthen 386: <li>Over 7,800 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.1 sthen 387: the package build process
388: <ul>
1.28 espie 389: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
390: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
391: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
392: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
393: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
1.29 sthen 394: preferentially restarted on the same machine.

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

514:
515: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
516: <ul>
517: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
518: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
519: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
520: <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppy53.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
521:
522: <p>
523: Use <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyB53.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
524: support, or <i>CD1:5.3/i386/floppyC53.fs</i> for better laptop support.
525:
526: <p>
527: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
528: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
529: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
530:
531: <p>
532: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
533: read INSTALL.i386.
534:
535: <p>
536: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
537: at <i>CD1:5.3/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
538: use the

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

1.17 rpe 836: source tree, our ports tree is available via
837: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
838: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1.1 sthen 839: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

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