286: <ul>
287: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
288: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
289: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
290: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
291: the default when both the client and server support it.
292: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
293: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
294: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
295: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
296: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
297: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
298: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
299: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
300: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
301: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
302: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
303: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near
304: future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt>
305: file.
306: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
307: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
308: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
309: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
310: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
311: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
312: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
313: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
314: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
315: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
316: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
317: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
318: future release</b>.
319: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
320: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
321: Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key
322: exchange hash calculation.
323: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
324: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
325: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
326: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
327: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
328: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
329: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
330: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
332: Add a
333: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
334: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be
335: applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of
336: arbitrary commands</i>.
337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
338: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a
339: set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in
340: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
341: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
342: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
343: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
344: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
345: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by
346: name.
347: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
348: Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling
349: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a>
350: on an open file handle.
351: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
352: Add a
353: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
354: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
355: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
356: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
357: Add a
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
359: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of
360: <tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a
361: connected file descriptor back to
362: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
363: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
364: around to transfer data.
365: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
366: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
367: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
368: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
369: time.
370: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
371: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
372: other clauses predicates failed to match.
373: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
374: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
375: hostname being changed, then re-parse
376: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
377: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'
378: and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance
379: to be applied.

626: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
627: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
628: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
629: <p>
630:
631: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
632: <ul>
633: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
634: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
635: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
636: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
637:
638: <p>
639: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
640: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
641:
642: <p>
643: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
644: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
645: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
646:
647: <p>
648: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
649: read INSTALL.i386.
650:
651: <p>
652: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
653: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
654: use the
655: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
656: utility. The following is an example usage of
657: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
658: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
659: "rfd0a".
660:

662: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
663: </pre></ul>
664:
665: <p>
666: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
667: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
668: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

675: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
676: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
677: your BIOS options first.
678: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
679: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
680: boot from the floppy drive.
681:
