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

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

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

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

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

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

805: <p>
806: <ul><pre>

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

842: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

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