198: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
199: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
200: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
201: the default when both the client and server support it.
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: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
205: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
206: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
207: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
208: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
209: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
210: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
211: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
212: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
213: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near
214: future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt>
215: file.
216: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
217: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
218: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
219: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
220: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
221: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
222: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
224: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
225: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
226: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
227: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
228: future release</b>.
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=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
231: Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key
232: exchange hash calculation.
233: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
234: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
235: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
236: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
237: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
238: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
239: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
240: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
241: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
242: Add a
243: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
244: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be
245: applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of
246: arbitrary commands</i>.
247: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
248: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a
249: set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in
250: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
251: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
252: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
253: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
254: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
255: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by

260: on an open file handle.
261: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
262: Add a
263: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
264: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
265: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
266: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
267: Add a
268: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
269: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of
270: <tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a
271: connected file descriptor back to
272: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
273: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
274: around to transfer data.
275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
276: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
277: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
278: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
279: time.
280: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
281: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
282: other clauses predicates failed to match.
283: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
284: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
285: hostname being changed, then re-parse
286: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
287: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'
288: and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance
289: to be applied.

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

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

585: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
586: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
587: your BIOS options first.
588: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
589: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
590: boot from the floppy drive.
591:
592: <p>
593: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

829: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
830: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
831: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
832: Using these files

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

862: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
863: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
864: OpenBSD ports system.
865: <p>
866: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
867: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
868: cvs(1)</a> if
869: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
870: source tree, our ports tree is available via
871: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
872: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
873: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
874: like:
875: <p>
876: <ul><pre>
877: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
878: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
879: </pre></ul>
880: <p>
881: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
882: server.]
883: <p>
884: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
885: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
886: <p>
887: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
888: would like to know more, the mailing list
889: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
