171: <tt>AcceptEnv</tt> pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH prior to 6.6 could

176: <ul>
177: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
178: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
179: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
180: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
181: the default when both the client and server support it.
182: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
183: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
184: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
185: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
186: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
187: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
188: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
189: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
190: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
191: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
192: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
193: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near
194: future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt>
195: file.
196: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
197: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
198: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
199: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
200: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
201: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
202: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
203: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
204: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
205: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
206: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
207: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
208: future release</b>.
209: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
210: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
211: Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key
212: exchange hash calculation.
213: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
214: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
215: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
216: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
217: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
218: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
219: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
220: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
221: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
222: Add a
223: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
224: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be
225: applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of
226: arbitrary commands</i>.
227: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
228: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a
229: set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in
230: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
231: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
232: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
233: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
234: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
235: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by
236: name.
237: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
238: Add a sftp "fsync@openssh.com" to support calling
239: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=fsync&sektion=2">fsync(2)</a>
240: on an open file handle.
241: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
242: Add a
243: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
244: <tt>PermitTTY</tt> to disallow <i>TTY</i> allocation, mirroring the
245: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
246: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
247: Add a
248: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
249: <tt>ProxyUseFDPass</tt> option that supports the use of
250: <tt>ProxyCommands</tt> that establish a connection and then pass a
251: connected file descriptor back to
252: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
253: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
254: around to transfer data.
255: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
256: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
257: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
258: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
259: time.
260: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
261: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
262: other clauses predicates failed to match.
263: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
264: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
265: hostname being changed, then re-parse
266: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
267: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'
268: and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance
269: to be applied.

491: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
492: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
493: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
494: <p>
495:
496: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
497: <ul>
498: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
499: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
500: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
501: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
502:
503: <p>
504: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
505: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
506:
507: <p>
508: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
509: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
510: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
511:
512: <p>
513: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
514: read INSTALL.i386.
515:
516: <p>
517: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
518: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
519: use the
520: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
521: utility. The following is an example usage of
522: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
523: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
524: "rfd0a".

526: <ul><pre>
527: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
528: </pre></ul>
529:
530: <p>
531: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
532: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
533: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

540: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
541: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
542: your BIOS options first.
543: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
544: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
545: boot from the floppy drive.
546:
547: <p>
548: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

788: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
789: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

798: If you already have an OpenBSD 5.4 system, and do not want to reinstall,

806: <p>
807: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
808: <p>
809: <ul><pre>
810: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
811: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
812: </pre></ul>
813: <p>
814: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
815: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
816: if you know nothing about ports
817: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
818: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
819: OpenBSD ports system.
820: <p>
821: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
822: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
823: cvs(1)</a> if
824: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
825: source tree, our ports tree is available via
826: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
827: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
828: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
829: like:
830: <p>
831: <ul><pre>
832: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
833: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
834: </pre></ul>
835: <p>
836: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
837: server.]
838: <p>
839: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
840: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
841: <p>
842: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
843: would like to know more, the mailing list
844: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
