305: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
306: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
307: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
308: the default when both the client and server support it.
309: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
310: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
311: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
312: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
313: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
314: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
315: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
316: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
317: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
318: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
319: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>

326: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and

332: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
333: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
334: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a

346: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
347: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
348: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

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

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

390: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

574: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
575: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style

643: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
644: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
645: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
646: <p>
647:
648: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
649: <ul>
650: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
651: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
652: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
653: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
654:
655: <p>
656: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
657: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
658:
659: <p>
660: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
661: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
662: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
663:
664: <p>
665: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
666: read INSTALL.i386.
667:
668: <p>
669: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
670: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
671: use the
672: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
673: utility. The following is an example usage of
674: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
675: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
676: "rfd0a".

679: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
680: </pre></ul>
681:
682: <p>
683: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
684: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
685: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

692: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
693: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
694: your BIOS options first.
695: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
696: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
697: boot from the floppy drive.
698:
