469: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 470: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
471: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
472: the default when both the client and server support it.
1.91 bentley 473: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
474: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 475: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
476: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
477: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
478: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
479: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
480: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
481: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
1.91 bentley 482: existing keys of other types via the <code>-o</code>
483: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
1.68 tedu 484: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near

1.68 tedu 495: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
496: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
497: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
498: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a

1.91 bentley 512: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.68 tedu 513: Add a

1.68 tedu 522: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
523: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in

540: <code>ProxyUseFDPass</code> option that supports the use of
541: <code>ProxyCommands</code> that establish a connection and then pass a
1.68 tedu 542: connected file descriptor back to
1.91 bentley 543: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>.
544: This allows the <code>ProxyCommand</code> to exit rather than staying
1.68 tedu 545: around to transfer data.
1.91 bentley 546: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
547: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 548: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code

550: time.
1.91 bentley 551: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
552: when processing <code>Match</code> blocks, skip '<code>exec</code>' clauses
1.68 tedu 553: other clauses predicates failed to match.
1.91 bentley 554: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.68 tedu 555: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
556: hostname being changed, then re-parse
1.91 bentley 557: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5">ssh_config(5)</a>
558: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<code>Host</code>'

805: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
806: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
807: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
1.91 bentley 808:
809: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
810:
1.68 tedu 811: <p>
812: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
813: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
814: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
815: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
816:
817: <p>
818: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
819: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
820:
821: <p>
1.76 bcallah 822: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install55.fs</i> or
823: <i>miniroot55.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
824:
825: <p>
826: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.68 tedu 827: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
828: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
829:
830: <p>
831: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
832: read INSTALL.i386.
833:
834: <p>
835: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
836: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
837: use the
1.91 bentley 838: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.68 tedu 839: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.91 bentley 840: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.68 tedu 841: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
842: "rfd0a".

1.91 bentley 846: </pre></blockquote>
1.68 tedu 847:
848: <p>
849: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
850: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
851: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
1.83 tj 852: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.91 bentley 853:
854: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.68 tedu 855:
856: <p>
857: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
858: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
859: your BIOS options first.
860: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
861: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
862: boot from the floppy drive.
863:
864: <p>
1.76 bcallah 865: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install55.fs</i> or
866: <i>miniroot55.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
867:
868: <p>
869: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.68 tedu 870: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
871: INSTALL.amd64 document.
872:
873: <p>
874: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
875: read INSTALL.amd64.

1079: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1080: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1081: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1082: Using these files
1083: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1084: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1111: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

1113: if you know nothing about ports
1114: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1115: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1116: OpenBSD ports system.
1117: <p>
1118: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.91 bentley 1119: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/i386/cvs.1">
1.68 tedu 1120: cvs(1)</a> if

1122: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1123: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1124: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1125: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1126: like:
1127: <p>
1.91 bentley 1128: <blockquote><pre>
1.68 tedu 1129: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1130: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>
1.91 bentley 1131: </pre></blockquote>
1.68 tedu 1132: <p>
1133: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1134: server.]
1135: <p>
1136: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1137: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1138: <p>
1139: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1140: would like to know more, the mailing list
1141: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
