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

275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
276: Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling
277: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a>
278: on an open file handle.
279: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
280: Add a
281: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
282: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
283: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
284: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
285: Add a
286: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
287: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of
288: <tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a
289: connected file descriptor back to
290: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
291: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
292: around to transfer data.
293: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
294: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
295: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
296: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
297: time.
298: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
299: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
300: other clauses predicates failed to match.
301: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
302: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
303: hostname being changed, then re-parse
304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
305: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'

554: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
555: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
556: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
557: <p>
558:
559: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
560: <ul>
561: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
562: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
563: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
564: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
565:
566: <p>
567: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
568: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
569:
570: <p>
571: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
572: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
573: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
574:
575: <p>
576: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
577: read INSTALL.i386.
578:
579: <p>
580: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
581: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
582: use the
583: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
584: utility. The following is an example usage of
585: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
586: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
587: "rfd0a".

590: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
591: </pre></ul>
592:
593: <p>
594: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
595: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
596: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
597: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

603: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
604: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
605: your BIOS options first.
606: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
607: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
608: boot from the floppy drive.
609:
610: <p>
611: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
612: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
613: INSTALL.amd64 document.

880: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
881: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
882: OpenBSD ports system.
883: <p>
884: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
885: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
886: cvs(1)</a> if

888: source tree, our ports tree is available via
889: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
890: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
891: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
892: like:
893: <p>
894: <ul><pre>
895: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
896: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
897: </pre></ul>
898: <p>
899: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
900: server.]
901: <p>
902: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
903: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
904: <p>
905: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
906: would like to know more, the mailing list
907: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
