296: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
297: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
298: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
299: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
300: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
301: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
302: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>

1.14 sobrado 309: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
310: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
311: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
312: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.
313: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>,
314: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
315: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
316: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
317: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.

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

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

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

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

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

562: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
563: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
564: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
565: <p>
566:
567: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
568: <ul>
569: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
570: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
571: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
572: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
573:
574: <p>
575: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
576: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
577:
578: <p>
579: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
580: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
581: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
582:
583: <p>
584: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
585: read INSTALL.i386.
586:
587: <p>
588: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
589: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
590: use the
591: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
592: utility. The following is an example usage of
593: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
594: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
595: "rfd0a".

598: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
599: </pre></ul>
600:
601: <p>
602: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
603: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
604: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

611: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
612: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
613: your BIOS options first.
614: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
615: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
616: boot from the floppy drive.
617:

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

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