165: <tt>AcceptEnv</tt> pattern with a wildcard. OpenSSH prior to 6.6 could
166: be tricked into accepting any enviornment variable that contains the

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

510: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
511: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
512: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
513: <p>
514:
515: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
516: <ul>
517: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
518: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
519: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
520: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
521:
522: <p>
523: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
524: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
525:
526: <p>
527: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
528: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
529: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
530:
531: <p>
532: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
533: read INSTALL.i386.
534:
535: <p>
536: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
537: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
538: use the
539: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
540: utility. The following is an example usage of
541: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
542: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
543: "rfd0a".

548:
549: <p>
550: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
551: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
552: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

559: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
560: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
561: your BIOS options first.
562: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
563: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
564: boot from the floppy drive.
565:
566: <p>
567: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

743: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
744: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
745: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
746: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,
747: depending on the version of your ROM.
748:
749: <ul><pre>
750: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
751: or

756: Make sure you use a properly formatted floppy with NO BAD BLOCKS or your install
757: will most likely fail.
758:
759: <p>
760: If your SPARC system doesn't have a floppy drive nor a CD drive, you can either
761: setup a bootable tape, or install via network, as told in the
762: INSTALL.sparc file.

792: <p>
793: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
794: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
795: To extract:
796: <p>
797: <ul><pre>
798: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

802: <p>
803: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
804: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
805: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
806: Using these files
807: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
808: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

833: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
834: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
835: if you know nothing about ports
836: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
837: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
838: OpenBSD ports system.
839: <p>
840: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
841: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
842: cvs(1)</a> if
843: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
844: source tree, our ports tree is available via
845: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
846: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
847: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
848: like:
849: <p>
850: <ul><pre>
851: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
852: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
853: </pre></ul>
854: <p>
855: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
856: server.]
857: <p>
858: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
859: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
860: <p>
861: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
862: would like to know more, the mailing list
863: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
