1.72 bentley 304: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 305: The default set of ciphers and <i>MAC</i>s has been altered to remove
306: unsafe algorithms. In particular, <i>CBC ciphers</i> and
307: <i>arcfour*</i> are disabled by default.
1.72 bentley 308: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 309: Support for <i>tcpwrappers</i>/<i>libwrap</i> has been removed.
310: <li>OpenSSH 6.5 and 6.6 have a bug that causes ~0.2% of connections
311: using the "curve25519-sha256@libssh.org" <i>KEX exchange method</i>
312: to fail when connecting with something that implements the
313: specification correctly. OpenSSH 6.7 disables this KEX method when
314: speaking to one of the affected versions.
1.1 deraadt 315: </ul>
316: <li>New/changed features:
317: <ul>
1.14 sobrado 318: <li>Major internal refactoring to begin to make part of OpenSSH usable
319: as a library. So far the wire parsing, key handling and KRL code
320: has been refactored. Please note that we do not consider the API
321: stable yet, nor do we offer the library in separable form.

323: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 324: Add support for <i>Unix domain socket</i> forwarding. A remote TCP
325: port may be forwarded to a local Unix domain socket and vice versa or
326: both ends may be a Unix domain socket.

1.14 sobrado 333: When rekeying, skip file/DNS lookups of the hostkey if it is the same
334: as the one sent during initial key exchange. (bz#2154)
1.72 bentley 335: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 336: Allow explicit ::1 and 127.0.0.1 forwarding bind addresses when

1.14 sobrado 338: (bz#2222)
1.72 bentley 339: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:

342: <code>PermitUserRC</code> option to control whether <code>~/.ssh/rc</code> is

1.14 sobrado 344: (bz#2160)
1.72 bentley 345: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
346: Add a %C escape sequence for <code>LocalCommand</code> and
347: <code>ControlPath</code> that expands to a unique identifer based on a
1.14 sobrado 348: hash of the tuple of (local host, remote user, hostname, port). Helps
349: avoid exceeding miserly pathname limits for Unix domain sockets in
350: multiplexing control paths. (bz#2220)
1.72 bentley 351: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 352: Make the "Too many authentication failures" message include the user,

1.14 sobrado 360: Fix remote forwarding with same listen port but different listen
361: address.
1.72 bentley 362: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 363: Fix inverted test that caused <i>PKCS#11</i> keys that were explicitly

1.72 bentley 367: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 368: Fix bug in KRL generation: multiple consecutive revoked certificate
369: serial number ranges could be serialised to an invalid format.
370: Readers of a broken KRL caused by this bug will fail closed, so no
371: should-have-been-revoked key will be accepted.
1.72 bentley 372: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
373: Reflect stdio-forward ("<code>ssh -W host:port ...</code>") failures in

1.14 sobrado 380: Only cleanup agent socket in the main agent process and not in any
381: subprocesses it may have started (e.g. forked askpass). Fixes agent
382: sockets being zapped when askpass processes <i>fatal()</i>. (bz#2236)
1.72 bentley 383: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-add.1">ssh-add(1)</a>:

1.14 sobrado 386: <i>fatal()</i>s part-way through (e.g. when listing keys from an

1.72 bentley 388: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-add.1">ssh-add(1)</a>
1.14 sobrado 389: doesn't). (bz#2234)
1.72 bentley 390: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keygen.1">ssh-keygen(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 391: When hashing or removing hosts, don't choke on "@revoked" markers and

1.72 bentley 393: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 394: Don't fatal when hostname canonicalisation fails and a
1.72 bentley 395: <code>ProxyCommand</code> is in use; continue and allow the
396: <code>ProxyCommand</code> to connect anyway (e.g. to a host with a name

1.72 bentley 398: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/scp.1">scp(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 399: When copying local->remote fails during read, don't send uninitialised

1.72 bentley 401: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 402: Fix fatal "el_insertstr failed" errors when tab-completing filenames
403: with a single quote char somewhere in the string. (bz#2238)
1.72 bentley 404: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh-keyscan.1">ssh-keyscan(1)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 405: Scan for Ed25519 keys by default.
1.72 bentley 406: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ssh.1">ssh(1)</a>:
407: When using <code>VerifyHostKeyDNS</code> with a DNSSEC resolver,
1.14 sobrado 408: down-convert any certificate keys to plain keys and attempt SSHFP
409: resolution. Prevents a server from skipping SSHFP lookup and forcing
410: a new-hostkey dialog by offering only certificate keys.
1.72 bentley 411: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sshd.8">sshd(8)</a>:
1.14 sobrado 412: Avoid crash at exit via NULL pointer reference. (bz#2225)

571: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
572:
1.1 deraadt 573: <p>
574: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
575: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
576: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
577: <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
578:
579: <p>
580: Use <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyB56.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
581: support, or <i>CD1:5.6/i386/floppyC56.fs</i> for better laptop support.
582:
583: <p>
1.58 bcallah 584: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
585: <i>miniroot56.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
586:
587: <p>
588: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
1.1 deraadt 589: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
590: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
591:
592: <p>
593: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
594: read INSTALL.i386.
595:
596: <p>
597: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
598: at <i>CD1:5.6/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
599: use the
1.72 bentley 600: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 601: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.72 bentley 602: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 603: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

618: <p>
619: The 5.6 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
620: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
621: your BIOS options first.
622: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
623: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.6/amd64/floppy56.fs</i> to a floppy, then
624: boot from the floppy drive.
625:
626: <p>
1.58 bcallah 627: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install56.fs</i> or
