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

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

571:
572: <p>
573: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
574: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
575: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

582: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
583: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
584: your BIOS options first.
585: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
586: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
587: boot from the floppy drive.
588:
589: <p>
590: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

818: To extract:
819: <p>
820: <ul><pre>

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

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