! 147: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 148: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
! 149: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
! 150: the default when both the client and server support it.
! 151: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 152: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 153: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
! 154: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
! 155: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
! 156: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
! 157: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
! 158: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
! 159: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
! 160: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
! 161: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
! 162: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near

! 164: file.
! 165: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 166: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 167: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
! 168: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
! 169: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
! 170: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
! 171: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 172: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 173: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
! 174: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
! 175: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
! 176: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
! 177: future release</b>.

! 181: exchange hash calculation.
! 182: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 183: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
! 184: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
! 185: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
! 186: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 187: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
! 188: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
! 189: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
! 190: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

! 192: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
! 193: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be

! 196: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 197: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a

! 199: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
! 200: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
! 201: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
! 202: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
! 203: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
! 204: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by

! 209: on an open file handle.
! 210: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 211: Add a

! 213: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
! 214: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
! 215: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 216: Add a
! 217: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
! 218: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of

! 220: connected file descriptor back to
! 221: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
! 222: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying

! 224: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
! 225: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
! 226: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
! 227: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
! 228: time.
! 229: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 230: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses

! 232: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 233: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination

! 235: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
! 236: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'

460: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
461: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
462: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

464:
465: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
466: <ul>
467: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
468: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
469: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
470: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
471:
472: <p>
473: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
474: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
475:
476: <p>
477: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
478: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
479: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
480:
481: <p>
482: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
483: read INSTALL.i386.
484:
485: <p>
486: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
487: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
488: use the
489: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
490: utility. The following is an example usage of
491: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
492: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
493: "rfd0a".

496: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
497: </pre></ul>
498:
499: <p>
500: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
501: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
502: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

509: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
510: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
511: your BIOS options first.
512: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
513: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
514: boot from the floppy drive.
515:
516: <p>
517: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
