|
<li>Removed experimental RAID 4 support from <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&sektion=4">softraid(4)</a>. |
|
<li>Added experimental support for rebuilding RAID 5 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=softraid&sektion=4">softraid(4)</a> volumes. Lots of testing is still required and there is missing functionality, such as the ability to resume a partially completed rebuild. <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=bioctl&sektion=8">bioctl(8)</a> refuses to create RAID 5 volumes unless recompiled with -DRAID5. |

|
<li>OpenSSH 6.6 (including changes to 6.5, a feature-focused release): |
|
<ul> |
|
<li>Security: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
when using environment passing with a |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5">sshd_config(5)</a> |
|
<tt>AcceptEnv</tt> pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH prior to 6.6 could |
|
be tricked into accepting any enviornment variable that contains the |
|
characters before the wildcard character. |
|
</ul> |
|
<li>New/changed features: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i> |
|
in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is |
|
the default when both the client and server support it. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is |
|
a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than |
|
<i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for |
|
both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys. |
|
<li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better |
|
protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for |
|
ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving |
|
existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt> |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a> |
|
option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near |
|
future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt> |
|
file. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that |
|
combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and |
|
<i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details |
|
are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that |
|
use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be |
|
possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys |
|
will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a |
|
future release</b>. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key |
|
exchange hash calculation. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for |
|
each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication |
|
800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>: |
|
Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs |
|
instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908) |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
Add a |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a> |
|
<tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be |
|
applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of |
|
arbitrary commands</i>. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a |
|
set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>. |
|
This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified |
|
domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in |
|
<tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>: |
|
Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by |
|
name. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>: |
|
Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a> |
|
on an open file handle. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
Add a |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a> |
|
<tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the |
|
longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
Add a |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a> |
|
<tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of |
|
<tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a |
|
connected file descriptor back to |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>. |
|
This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying |
|
around to transfer data. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>: |
|
this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code |
|
was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some |
|
time. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses |
|
other clauses predicates failed to match. |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>: |
|
if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination |
|
hostname being changed, then re-parse |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a> |
|
files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>' |
|
and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance |
|
to be applied. |
|
</ul> |
|
<li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release: |
|
<ul> |
|
<li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>, |

<p> |
|
Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of |

paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate |
|
form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style |
|
of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact |
|
so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had |
|
purchased a CDROM instead. |

|
Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the |
|
use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when |
|
installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above! |
|
<p> |
|
|
|
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3> |
|
<ul> |
|
Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386 |
|
release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need |
|
to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write |
|
<i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller |
|
support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk, |
|
you can install across the network using PXE as described in |
|
the included INSTALL.i386 document. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to |
|
read INSTALL.i386. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located |
|
at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS, |
|
use the |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> |
|
utility. The following is an example usage of |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>, |
|
where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or |
|
"rfd0a". |
|
|
|
<ul><pre> |
|
# <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong> |
|
</pre></ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or |
|
your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot |
|
floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to |
|
<a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>. |

|
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/amd64:</font></h3> |
|
<ul> |
|
The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2. |
|
Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust |
|
your BIOS options first. |
|
If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from. |
|
To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then |
|
boot from the floppy drive. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk, |
|
you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included |
|
INSTALL.amd64 document. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to |
|
read INSTALL.amd64. |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/macppc:</font></h3> |
|
<ul> |
|
Burn the image from the FTP site to a CDROM, and power on your machine |
|
while holding down the <i>C</i> key until the display turns on and |
|
shows <i>OpenBSD/macppc boot</i>. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Alternatively, at the Open Firmware prompt, enter <i>boot cd:,ofwboot |
|
/5.5/macppc/bsd.rd</i> |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/sparc64:</font></h3> |
|
<ul> |
|
Put CD3 in your CDROM drive and type <i>boot cdrom</i>. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If this doesn't work, or if you don't have a CDROM drive, you can write |
|
<i>CD3:5.5/sparc64/floppy55.fs</i> or <i>CD3:5.5/sparc64/floppyB55.fs</i> |
|
(depending on your machine) to a floppy and boot it with <i>boot |
|
floppy</i>. Refer to INSTALL.sparc64 for details. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install |
|
will most likely fail. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
You can also write <i>CD3:5.5/sparc64/miniroot55.fs</i> to the swap partition on |
|
the disk and boot with <i>boot disk:b</i>. |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
If nothing works, you can boot over the network as described in INSTALL.sparc64. |
|
</ul> |
|
|
|
<p> |
|
<h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/alpha:</font></h3> |

<i>FTP:5.5/alpha/floppyB55.fs</i> (depending on your machine) to a diskette and |
|
enter <i>boot dva0</i>. Refer to INSTALL.alpha for more details. |

src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file |
|
contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are |
|
in a separate archive. To extract: |
|
<p> |
|
<ul><pre> |
|
# <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src</strong> |
|
# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong> |
|
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</strong> |
|
</pre></ul> |
|
<p> |
|
sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys. |
|
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels. |
|
To extract: |
|
<p> |
|
<ul><pre> |
|
# <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong> |
|
# <strong>cd /usr/src</strong> |
|
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</strong> |
|
</pre></ul> |
|

|
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it |
|
is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as |
|
described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>. |
|
Using these files |
|
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from |
|
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree. |

<h3><font color="#0000e0">How to upgrade</font></h3> |
|
<p> |
|
If you already have an OpenBSD 5.4 system, and do not want to reinstall, |
|
upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the |
|
<a href="faq/upgrade55.html">Upgrade Guide</a>. |

<h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3> |
|
<p> |
|
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract: |
|
<p> |
|
<ul><pre> |
|
# <strong>cd /usr</strong> |
|
# <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong> |
|
</pre></ul> |
|
<p> |
|
The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go |
|
read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page |
|
if you know nothing about ports |
|
at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports. |
|
Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the |
|
OpenBSD ports system. |
|
<p> |
|
The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for |
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386"> |
|
cvs(1)</a> if |
|
you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete |
|
source tree, our ports tree is available via |
|
<a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>. |
|
So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree |
|
available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command |
|
like: |
|
<p> |
|
<ul><pre> |
|
# <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong> |
|
# <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong> |
|
</pre></ul> |
|
<p> |
|
[Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs |
|
server.] |
|
<p> |
|
Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated |
|
packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise. |
|
<p> |
|
If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just |
|
would like to know more, the mailing list |
|
<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know. |
