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

279: Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling
280: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a>
281: on an open file handle.
282: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
283: Add a
284: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
285: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
286: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
287: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

289: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
290: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of

292: connected file descriptor back to
293: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
294: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
295: around to transfer data.

297: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
298: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
299: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
300: time.
301: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
302: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
303: other clauses predicates failed to match.
304: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
305: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
306: hostname being changed, then re-parse
307: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
308: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'

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

594: </pre></ul>
595:
596: <p>
597: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
598: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
599: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

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

884: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
885: OpenBSD ports system.
886: <p>
887: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
888: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
889: cvs(1)</a> if

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