292: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.
1.1 deraadt 293: </ul>
294: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
295: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 296: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

298: address.
299: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
300: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
301: listed in

304: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
305: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
306: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
307: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
308: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
309: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
310: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in

315: (bz#2247)
316: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
317: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
318: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
319: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
320: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
321: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
322: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
323: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
324: agent that supports key types that
325: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>

327: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
328: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
329: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
330: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
331: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
332: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
333: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
334: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
335: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
336: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
337: heap to the remote end.
338: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
339: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
340: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
341: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
342: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
343: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
344: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
345: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
346: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
347: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
348: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
349: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

500: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
501: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

504: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
505: <ul>
506: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
507: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
508: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
509: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
510:
511: <p>
512: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
513: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
514:
515: <p>
516: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
517: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
518: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
519:
520: <p>
521: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
522: read INSTALL.i386.
523:
524: <p>
525: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
526: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
527: use the
528: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
529: utility. The following is an example usage of
530: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
531: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

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

537:
538: <p>
539: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
540: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
541: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

548: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
549: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
550: your BIOS options first.
551: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
552: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
553: boot from the floppy drive.
554:
555: <p>
556: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
557: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

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

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

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

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