253: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
254: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
255: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
256: the default when both the client and server support it.
257: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,

259: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
260: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
261: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
262: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
263: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better

274: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
275: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details

279: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
280: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
281: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
282: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
283: future release</b>.

288: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
289: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for

295: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
296: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

306: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified

326: connected file descriptor back to
327: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.

336: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
337: other clauses predicates failed to match.
338: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
339: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination

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

598: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
599: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
600: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
601: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
602:
603: <p>
604: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
605: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.

608: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
609: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
610: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

613: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
614: read INSTALL.i386.

616: <p>
617: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
618: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
619: use the
620: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
621: utility. The following is an example usage of
622: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
623: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
