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

1.14 sobrado 288: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
289: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code

291: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

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

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

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

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

315: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
316: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
317: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
318: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
319: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in

321: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
322: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
323: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the
324: authentication success/failure messages. (bz#2199)
325: <li>Added <i>unit</i> and <i>fuzz</i> tests for refactored code.

327: <li>The following significant bugs have been fixed in this release:
328: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 329: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
330: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
331: address.
332: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
333: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
334: listed in

337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
338: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
339: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
340: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
341: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
342: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
343: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
344: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
345: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
346: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
347: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
348: (bz#2247)
349: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
350: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
351: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
352: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
353: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
354: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
355: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
356: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
357: agent that supports key types that
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>

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

549: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
550: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
551: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
552: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
553:
554: <p>
555: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller

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

845: <p>
846: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

852: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

861: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs

863: <p>
864: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
865: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
866: <p>
867: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
868: would like to know more, the mailing list
