1.14 sobrado 176: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
177: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
178: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
179: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
180: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
181: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
182: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
183: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
184: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
185: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when
186: speaking to one of the affected versions.
1.1 deraadt 187: </ul>
188: <li>New/changed features:
189: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 190: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
191: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
192: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
193: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.
194: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
195: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
196: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
197: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
198: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
199: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
200: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
201: Add support for <i>SSHFP DNS records</i> for <i>Ed2551</i>9 key types.
202: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
203: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
204: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
205: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
206: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
207: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
208: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when
209: <tt>GatewayPorts=no</tt>; allows client to choose address family.
210: (bz#2222)
211: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

216: (bz#2160)
217: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
218: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
219: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
220: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
221: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
222: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
223: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
224: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
225: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
226: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
227: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 228: </ul>
229: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
230: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 231: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
232: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
233: address.
234: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
235: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
236: listed in
237: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>
238: or on the commandline not to be preferred.
239: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
240: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
241: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
242: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
243: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
244: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
245: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
246: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
247: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
248: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
249: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
250: (bz#2247)
251: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
252: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
253: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
254: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
255: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
256: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
257: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
258: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
259: agent that supports key types that
260: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
261: doesn't). (bz#2234)
262: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
263: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
264: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
265: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
266: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
267: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
268: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
269: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
270: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
271: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
272: heap to the remote end.
273: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
274: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
275: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
276: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
277: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
278: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
279: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
280: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
281: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
282: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
283: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
284: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

435: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
436: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
437: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
438: <p>
439:
440: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
441: <ul>
442: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
443: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
444: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
445: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
446:
447: <p>
448: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
449: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
450:
451: <p>
452: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
453: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
454: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
455:
456: <p>
457: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
458: read INSTALL.i386.
459:
460: <p>
461: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
462: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
463: use the
464: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
465: utility. The following is an example usage of
466: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
467: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
468: "rfd0a".

471: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
472: </pre></ul>
473:
474: <p>
475: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
476: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
477: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

484: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
485: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
486: your BIOS options first.
487: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
488: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
489: boot from the floppy drive.
490:

736: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
737: OpenBSD ports system.
738: <p>
739: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
740: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
741: cvs(1)</a> if
742: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
743: source tree, our ports tree is available via
744: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
745: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
746: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
747: like:
748: <p>
749: <ul><pre>
750: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.6 deraadt 751: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_6</strong>
1.1 deraadt 752: </pre></ul>
753: <p>
754: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
755: server.]
756: <p>
757: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
758: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
759: <p>
760: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
761: would like to know more, the mailing list
762: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
