268: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
269: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
270: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
271: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
272: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
273: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
274: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
275: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
276: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when

1.14 sobrado 281: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
282: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
283: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
284: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

286: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
287: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
288: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
289: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.

294: Allow resumption of interrupted uploads.
295: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
296: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
297: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
298: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
299: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when

301: (bz#2222)
302: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

305: <tt>PermitUserRC</tt> option to control whether <tt>~/.ssh/rc</tt> is

308: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
309: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
310: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
311: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
312: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
313: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
314: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
315: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
316: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
317: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
318: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.

1.14 sobrado 322: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
323: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
324: address.
325: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
326: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
327: listed in

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

338: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
339: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
340: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
341: (bz#2247)
342: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
343: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
344: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
345: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
346: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
347: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
348: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
349: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
350: agent that supports key types that
351: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>

353: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
354: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
355: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
356: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
357: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
358: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
359: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
360: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
361: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
362: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
363: heap to the remote end.
364: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
365: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
366: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
367: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
368: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
369: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
370: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
371: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
372: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
373: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
374: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
375: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

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

541: <ul>
542: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
543: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
544: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
545: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
546:
547: <p>
548: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
549: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
550:
551: <p>
552: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
553: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
554: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
555:
556: <p>
557: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
558: read INSTALL.i386.
559:
560: <p>
561: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
562: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
563: use the
564: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
565: utility. The following is an example usage of
566: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
567: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

585: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
586: your BIOS options first.
587: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
588: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
589: boot from the floppy drive.

857: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
