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

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

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

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

761: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
762: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
763: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
764: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

813: To extract:
814: <p>
815: <ul><pre>

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

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

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