337: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
338: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
339: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no

349: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any

355: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an

362: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
363: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
364: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
365: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
366: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
367: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:

373: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
374: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
375: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
376: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
377: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
378: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
379: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
380: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

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

850: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
851: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

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

862: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
863: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.

865: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
