444: </ul>
445: <li>New/changed features:
446: <ul>
447: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
448: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
449: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
450: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
451: the default when both the client and server support it.
452: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
453: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
454: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
455: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
456: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
457: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
458: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
459: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
460: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
461: existing keys of other types via the <tt>-o</tt>
462: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
463: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near
464: future. Details of the new format are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.key</tt>
465: file.
466: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
467: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
468: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that
469: combines Daniel Bernstein's <i>ChaCha20</i> stream cipher and
470: <i>Poly1305 MAC</i> to build an authenticated encryption mode. Details
471: are in the <tt>PROTOCOL.chacha20poly1305</tt> file.
472: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
473: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
474: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
475: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
476: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
477: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a
478: future release</b>.
479: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
480: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
481: Refuse old proprietary clients and servers that use a weaker key
482: exchange hash calculation.
483: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
484: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for
485: each symmetric key size. New values from <i>NIST Special Publication
486: 800-57</i> with the upper limit specified by <i>RFC 4419</i>.
487: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
488: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
489: Support <i>PKCS#11</i> tokens that only provide <i>X.509</i> certs
490: instead of raw public keys. (requested as bz#1908)
491: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
492: Add a
493: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
494: <tt>Match</tt> keyword that allows conditional configuration to be
495: applied by matching on <i>hostname</i>, <i>user</i> and <i>result of
496: arbitrary commands</i>.
497: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
498: Add support for <i>client-side hostname canonicalisation</i> using a
499: set of <i>DNS suffixes</i> and rules in
500: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
501: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
502: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in
503: <tt>known_hosts</tt> or checking host certificate names.
504: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
505: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by

510: on an open file handle.
511: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

515: longstanding <tt>no-pty</tt> <tt>authorized_keys</tt> option.
516: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

521: connected file descriptor back to
522: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>.
523: This allows the <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to exit rather than staying
524: around to transfer data.
525: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
526: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
527: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
528: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
529: time.
530: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
531: when processing <tt>Match</tt> blocks, skip '<tt>exec</tt>' clauses
532: other clauses predicates failed to match.
533: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
534: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
535: hostname being changed, then re-parse
536: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
537: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<tt>Host</tt>'
538: and '<tt>Match</tt>' directives that use the expanded hostname a chance
539: to be applied.

793: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
794: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
795: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
796: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
797:
798: <p>
799: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
800: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
801:
802: <p>
1.76 ! bcallah 803: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install55.fs</i> or

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

815: <p>
816: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
817: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
818: use the
819: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
820: utility. The following is an example usage of
821: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
822: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

1028: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1029: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
1030: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
1031: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

1034: <ul><pre>
1035: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>

1121: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1122: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1123: OpenBSD ports system.
1124: <p>
1125: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1126: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
1127: cvs(1)</a> if
1128: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
1129: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1130: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1131: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1132: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1133: like:
1134: <p>
1135: <ul><pre>
1136: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1137: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
1138: </pre></ul>
1139: <p>
1140: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1141: server.]
1142: <p>
1143: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1144: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1145: <p>
1146: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1147: would like to know more, the mailing list
1148: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
