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

526: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
527: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
528: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
529: <p>
530:
531: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
532: <ul>
533: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
534: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
535: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
536: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
537:
538: <p>
539: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
540: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
541:
542: <p>
543: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
544: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
545: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
546:
547: <p>
548: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
549: read INSTALL.i386.
550:
551: <p>
552: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
553: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
554: use the
555: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
556: utility. The following is an example usage of
557: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
558: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
559: "rfd0a".

564:
565: <p>
566: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
567: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
568: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

575: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
576: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
577: your BIOS options first.
578: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
579: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
580: boot from the floppy drive.
581:
582: <p>
583: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

810: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
811: To extract:
812: <p>
813: <ul><pre>
814: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

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

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