455: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 456: Add support for key exchange using <i>elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman</i>
457: in Daniel Bernstein's <i>Curve25519</i>. This key exchange method is
458: the default when both the client and server support it.
1.91 bentley 459: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
460: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 461: Add support for <i>ED25519</i> as a public key type. ED25519 is
462: a elliptic curve signature scheme that offers better security than
463: <i>ECDSA</i> and <i>DSA</i> and good performance. It may be used for
464: both <i>user</i> and <i>host</i> keys.
465: <li>Add a new private key format that uses a <i>bcrypt KDF</i> to better
466: protect keys at rest. This format is used unconditionally for
467: ED25519 keys, but may be requested when generating or saving
1.91 bentley 468: existing keys of other types via the <code>-o</code>
469: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>
1.68 tedu 470: option. We intend to make the new format the default in the near

1.68 tedu 475: Add a new transport cipher "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" that

1.68 tedu 481: Refuse <i>RSA</i> keys from old proprietary clients and servers that
482: use the obsolete <i>RSA+MD5</i> signature scheme. It will still be
483: possible to connect with these clients/servers but <b>only DSA keys
484: will be accepted, and OpenSSH will refuse connection entirely in a

1.68 tedu 491: Increase the size of the <i>Diffie-Hellman groups</i> requested for

1.91 bentley 498: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.68 tedu 499: Add a

1.91 bentley 507: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5">ssh_config(5)</a>.
1.68 tedu 508: This allows unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified
509: domain names to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in

511: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp-server.8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 512: Add the ability to whitelist and/or blacklist sftp protocol requests by

526: <code>ProxyUseFDPass</code> option that supports the use of
527: <code>ProxyCommands</code> that establish a connection and then pass a
1.68 tedu 528: connected file descriptor back to
1.91 bentley 529: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>.
530: This allows the <code>ProxyCommand</code> to exit rather than staying
1.68 tedu 531: around to transfer data.
1.91 bentley 532: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>,
533: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.68 tedu 534: this release removes the <i>J-PAKE</i> authentication code. This code
535: was experimental, never enabled and had been unmaintained for some
536: time.
1.91 bentley 537: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
538: when processing <code>Match</code> blocks, skip '<code>exec</code>' clauses
1.68 tedu 539: other clauses predicates failed to match.
1.91 bentley 540: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.68 tedu 541: if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the destination
542: hostname being changed, then re-parse
1.91 bentley 543: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config.5">ssh_config(5)</a>
544: files using the new destination hostname. This gives '<code>Host</code>'

723: purchased a CDROM instead.

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

795: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
796:
1.68 tedu 797: <p>
798: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
799: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
800: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
801: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
802:
803: <p>
804: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
805: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.
806:
807: <p>
1.76 bcallah 808: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install55.fs</i> or
809: <i>miniroot55.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
810:
811: <p>
812: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.68 tedu 813: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
814: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
815:
816: <p>
817: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
818: read INSTALL.i386.
819:
820: <p>
821: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
822: at <i>CD1:5.5/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
823: use the
1.91 bentley 824: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.68 tedu 825: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.91 bentley 826: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.68 tedu 827: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
828: "rfd0a".

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

840: <h3>OpenBSD/amd64:</h3>
1.68 tedu 841:
842: <p>
843: The 5.5 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
844: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
845: your BIOS options first.
846: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
847: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.5/amd64/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy, then
848: boot from the floppy drive.
849:
850: <p>
1.76 bcallah 851: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install55.fs</i> or
852: <i>miniroot55.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
853:
854: <p>
855: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.68 tedu 856: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
857: INSTALL.amd64 document.
858:

1004: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
1005: To do so you need to write <i>floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy.
1.83 tj 1006: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">this page</a>.
1.68 tedu 1007: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

1063: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1064: Using these files

1094: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1095: OpenBSD ports system.
1096: <p>
1097: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.94 bentley 1098: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/cvs.1">cvs(1)</a> if
1.68 tedu 1099: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
1100: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1101: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1102: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1103: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

1.93 deraadt 1106: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>

1.68 tedu 1109: <p>
1110: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1111: server.]
1112: <p>
1.93 deraadt 1113: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.68 tedu 1114: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1115: <p>
1116: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1117: would like to know more, the mailing list
1118: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
