164: <tt>AcceptEnv</tt> pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH prior to 6.6 could

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

509: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
510: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
511: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
512: <p>
513:
514: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
515: <ul>
516: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
517: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
518: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
519: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
520:
521: <p>
522: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
523: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
524:
525: <p>
526: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
527: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
528: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
529:
530: <p>
531: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
532: read INSTALL.i386.
533:
534: <p>
535: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
536: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
537: use the
538: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
539: utility. The following is an example usage of
540: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
541: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

547:
548: <p>
549: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
550: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
551: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

558: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
559: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
560: your BIOS options first.
561: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
562: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
563: boot from the floppy drive.
564:
565: <p>

714: <p>
715: On other systems, or if your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can
716: setup a DHCP/tftp network server, and boot using "bootp()/bsd.rd.IP##" using
717: the kernel matching your system type.

742: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
743: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
744: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
745: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
746: depending on the version of your ROM.
747:
748: <ul><pre>
749: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
750: or

753:
754: <p>
755: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
756: will most likely fail.
757:
758: <p>
759: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
760: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
761: INSTALL.sparc file.

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

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

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