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

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

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

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

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

575: paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
576: form of install. The instructions for doing an FTP (or other style
577: of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact

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

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

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

693: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
694: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
695: your BIOS options first.
696: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
697: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
698: boot from the floppy drive.
699:
