187: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
188: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
189: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
190: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
191: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
192: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
193: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>

198: <li>New/changed features:
199: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 200: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
201: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
202: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
203: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

205: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
206: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
207: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
208: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.
209: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
210: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
211: Add support for <i>SSHFP DNS records</i> for <i>Ed2551</i>9 key types.

213: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
214: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
215: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
216: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
217: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

227: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
228: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
229: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
230: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
231: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
232: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
233: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
234: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
235: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
236: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
237: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 238: </ul>
239: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:

249: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
250: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
251: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
252: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
253: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
254: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

262: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
263: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
264: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
265: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
266: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
267: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
268: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
269: agent that supports key types that

275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
276: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
277: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
278: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
279: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
280: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
281: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
282: heap to the remote end.
283: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:

445: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
446: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
447: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
448: <p>
449:
450: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
451: <ul>
452: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
453: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
454: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
455: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
456:
457: <p>
458: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
459: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
460:
461: <p>
462: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
463: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
464: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
465:
466: <p>
467: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
468: read INSTALL.i386.
469:
470: <p>
471: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
472: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
473: use the
474: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
475: utility. The following is an example usage of
476: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
477: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
478: "rfd0a".

481: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

483:
484: <p>
485: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
486: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
487: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

495: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
496: your BIOS options first.
497: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
498: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
499: boot from the floppy drive.
500:

702: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
703: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.

706: <ul><pre>
707: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

742: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
743: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
744: if you know nothing about ports
745: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
746: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
747: OpenBSD ports system.
748: <p>
749: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
750: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
751: cvs(1)</a> if
752: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
753: source tree, our ports tree is available via
754: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
755: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
756: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
757: like:
758: <p>
759: <ul><pre>
760: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.6 deraadt 761: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_6</strong>
1.1 deraadt 762: </pre></ul>
763: <p>
764: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
765: server.]
766: <p>
767: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
768: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
769: <p>
770: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
771: would like to know more, the mailing list
772: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
