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

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

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

580: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
581: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
582: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

589: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
590: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
591: your BIOS options first.
592: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
593: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
594: boot from the floppy drive.
595:
596: <p>
597: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

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

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

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