180: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
181: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
182: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
183: the default when both the client and server support it.
184: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
185: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
186: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
187: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
188: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
189: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
190: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
191: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
192: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
193: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
194: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
195: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near
196: future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt>
197: file.
198: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
199: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
200: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
201: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
202: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
203: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
204: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
205: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
206: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
207: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
208: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
209: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
210: future release</b>.
211: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
212: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
213: Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key
214: exchange hash calculation.
215: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
216: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
217: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
218: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
219: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
220: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
221: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
222: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
223: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
224: Add a
225: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
226: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be
227: applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of
228: arbitrary commands</i>.
229: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
230: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a
231: set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in
232: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
233: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
234: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
235: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
236: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
237: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by
238: name.
239: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
240: Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling
241: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a>
242: on an open file handle.
243: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
244: Add a
245: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
246: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
247: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
248: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
249: Add a
250: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
251: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of
252: <tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a
253: connected file descriptor back to
254: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
255: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
256: around to transfer data.
257: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
258: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
259: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
260: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
261: time.
262: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
263: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
264: other clauses predicates failed to match.
265: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
266: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
267: hostname being changed, then re-parse
268: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
269: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'
270: and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance
271: to be applied.

518: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
519: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
520: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
521: <p>
522:
523: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
524: <ul>
525: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
526: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
527: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
528: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
529:
530: <p>
531: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
532: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
533:
534: <p>
535: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
536: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
537: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
538:
539: <p>
540: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
541: read INSTALL.i386.
542:
543: <p>
544: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
545: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
546: use the
547: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
548: utility. The following is an example usage of
549: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
550: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

556:
557: <p>
558: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
559: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
560: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

567: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
568: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
569: your BIOS options first.
570: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
571: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
572: boot from the floppy drive.
573:
574: <p>

723: <p>
724: On other systems, or if your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can
725: setup a DHCP/tftp network server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using
726: the kernel matching your system type.
727: Refer to the instructions in INSTALL.sgi for more details.

751: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
752: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
753: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
754: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
755: depending on the version of your ROM.
756:
757: <ul><pre>
758: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
759: or

762:
763: <p>
764: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
765: will most likely fail.
766:
767: <p>
768: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
769: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
770: INSTALL.sparc file.

800: <p>
801: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
802: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
803: To extract:
804: <p>
805: <ul><pre>
806: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

841: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
842: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
843: if you know nothing about ports
844: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
845: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
846: OpenBSD ports system.
847: <p>
848: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
849: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
850: cvs(1)</a> if
851: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
852: source tree, our ports tree is available via
853: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
854: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
855: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
856: like:
857: <p>
858: <ul><pre>
859: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
860: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
861: </pre></ul>
862: <p>
863: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
864: server.]
865: <p>
866: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
867: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
868: <p>
869: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
870: would like to know more, the mailing list
871: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
