1.14 sobrado 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.
1.62 ! beck 299: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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>
303: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
304: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when

307: <li>New/changed features:

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.

1.62 ! beck 336: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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

1.14 sobrado 354: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly

1.62 ! beck 358: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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.
1.62 ! beck 363: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:

369: (bz#2247)
1.62 ! beck 370: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh-agent&sektion=1">ssh-agent(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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)
1.62 ! beck 374: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh-add&sektion=1">ssh-add(1)</a>:

1.62 ! beck 381: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh-keygen&sektion=1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 382: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and

1.62 ! beck 384: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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).
1.62 ! beck 389: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 390: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised

1.62 ! beck 397: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 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.
1.62 ! beck 402: <li><a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

566: <ul>
567: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
568: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
569: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
570: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
571:
572: <p>
573: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
574: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
575:
576: <p>
1.58 bcallah 577: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
578: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
579:
580: <p>
581: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 582: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
583: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
584:

586: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
587: read INSTALL.i386.
588:
589: <p>
590: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
591: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
592: use the
1.62 ! beck 593: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 594: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.62 ! beck 595: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 596: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
