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

320: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same

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

348: address.
349: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

354: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
355: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
356: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
357: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
358: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
359: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

366: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
367: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
368: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
369: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
370: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:
371: Make stdout line-buffered; saves partial output getting lost when
372: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>
373: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an
374: agent that supports key types that
375: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>

377: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
378: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and

380: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
381: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
382: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> is in use; continue and allow the
383: <tt>ProxyCommand</tt> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name
384: outside the DNS behind a bastion).
385: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
386: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised
387: heap to the remote end.
388: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
389: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
390: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
391: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh-keyscan&sektion=1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
392: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
393: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
394: When using <tt>VerifyHostKeyDNS</tt> with a DNSSEC resolver,
395: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
396: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
397: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
398: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
399: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

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

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

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

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

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