291: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
292: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
293: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.

295: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
296: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
297: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
298: to fail when connecting with something that implements the

306: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
307: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

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

311: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
312: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.

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

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

330: (bz#2160)
331: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
332: Add a %C escape sequence for <tt>LocalCommand</tt> and
333: <tt>ControlPath</tt> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
334: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
335: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in

337: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
338: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,
339: source address, port and protocol in a format similar to the

1.14 sobrado 345: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
346: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
347: address.
348: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
349: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly
350: listed in

353: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
354: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
355: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
356: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
357: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
358: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
359: Reflect stdio-forward ("<tt>ssh -W host:port ...</tt>") failures in
360: exit status. Previously we were always returning 0. (bz#2255)
361: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
362: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
363: Make Ed25519 keys' title fit properly in the randomart border.
364: (bz#2247)
365: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
366: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
367: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
368: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
369: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
370: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
371: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
372: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
373: agent that supports key types that
374: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
375: doesn't). (bz#2234)
376: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
377: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and
378: don't remove "@cert-authority" markers. (bz#2241)
379: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
380: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
381: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
382: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
383: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
384: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
385: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
386: heap to the remote end.
387: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
388: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
389: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
390: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
391: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
392: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
393: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
394: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
395: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
396: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
397: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
398: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)
399: <li>Fix some strict-alignment errors.

557: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
558: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
559: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
560: <p>
561:
562: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
563: <ul>
564: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
565: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
566: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
567: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
568:
569: <p>
570: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
571: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
572:
573: <p>
574: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
575: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
576: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
577:
578: <p>
579: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
580: read INSTALL.i386.
581:
582: <p>
583: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
584: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
585: use the
586: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
587: utility. The following is an example usage of
588: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
589: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
590: "rfd0a".
591:
592: <ul><pre>
593: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
594: </pre></ul>
595:
596: <p>
597: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
598: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
599: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to
600: <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.

605: <ul>
606: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
607: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
608: your BIOS options first.
609: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
610: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
611: boot from the floppy drive.
612:
613: <p>
614: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

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

865: source tree, our ports tree is available via
866: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
867: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

876: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
877: server.]
878: <p>
879: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
880: packages for the 5.6 release will be made available if problems arise.
881: <p>
882: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
883: would like to know more, the mailing list
