275: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
276: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
277: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
278: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps

285: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 286: </ul>
287: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
288: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 289: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
290: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
291: address.
292: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
293: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
294: listed in
295: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5">ssh_config(5)</a>

297: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
298: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
299: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
300: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
301: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
302: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
303: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
304: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
305: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
306: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
307: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
308: (bz#2247)
309: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
310: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
311: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
312: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
313: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
314: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
315: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
316: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
317: agent that supports key types that
318: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
319: doesn't). (bz#2234)
320: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
321: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
322: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
323: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
324: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
325: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
326: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
327: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
328: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
329: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
330: heap to the remote end.
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
332: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
333: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
334: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
335: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
336: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
337: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
338: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
339: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
340: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
341: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
342: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

498: <ul>
499: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
500: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
501: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
502: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
503:
504: <p>
505: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
506: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
507:
508: <p>
509: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
510: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
511: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
512:
513: <p>
514: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
515: read INSTALL.i386.
516:
517: <p>
518: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
519: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
520: use the
521: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
522: utility. The following is an example usage of
523: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
524: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

544: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
545: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
546: boot from the floppy drive.

793: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
794: OpenBSD ports system.
795: <p>
796: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

800: source tree, our ports tree is available via
801: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
802: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
803: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
804: like:

807: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>

810: <p>
811: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
812: server.]
813: <p>
814: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
815: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
816: <p>
817: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
818: would like to know more, the mailing list
819: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
