1.14 sobrado 319: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
320: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
321: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
1.72 ! bentley 322: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 323: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
324: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
325: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
326: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
327: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when

1.1 deraadt 329: </ul>
330: <li>New/changed features:
331: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 332: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
333: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
334: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
335: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

1.14 sobrado 358: (bz#2160)
1.72 ! bentley 359: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
! 360: Add a %C escape sequence for <code>LocalCommand</code> and
! 361: <code>ControlPath</code> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
1.14 sobrado 362: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps

1.72 ! bentley 381: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 382: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
383: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
384: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
385: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.

! 421: When using <code>VerifyHostKeyDNS</code> with a DNSSEC resolver,
1.14 sobrado 422: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
423: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
424: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.

580: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
581: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
582: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

! 584: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
! 585:
1.1 deraadt 586: <p>
587: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
588: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
589: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
590: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
591:
592: <p>
593: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
594: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
595:
596: <p>
1.58 bcallah 597: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
598: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
599:
600: <p>
601: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 602: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
603: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
604:
605: <p>
606: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
607: read INSTALL.i386.
608:
609: <p>
610: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
611: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
612: use the
1.72 ! bentley 613: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 614: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.72 ! bentley 615: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 616: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
617: "rfd0a".

623: <p>
624: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
625: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

1.1 deraadt 630:
631: <p>
632: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
633: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
634: your BIOS options first.
635: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
636: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
637: boot from the floppy drive.
638:
639: <p>
1.58 bcallah 640: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
641: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
642:
643: <p>
644: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 645: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
646: INSTALL.amd64 document.
