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

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

555:
556: <p>
557: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
558: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
559: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

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

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

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

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

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