1.3 sobrado 201: <li>Much of OpenSSH's internal code has been re-factored to be more
202: library-like. These changes are mostly not user-visible, but
203: have greatly improved OpenSSH's testability and internal layout.

1.28 sobrado 215: Experiemental host key rotation support. Add a protocol extension
216: for a server to inform a client of all its available host keys after
217: authentication has completed. The client may record the keys in
218: <tt>known_hosts</tt>, allowing it to upgrade to better host key
219: algorithms and a server to gracefully rotate its keys. The client
220: side of this is controlled by a <tt>UpdateHostkeys</tt> config option

231: offers multiple ECDSA keys of different lengths.

233: when host name canonicalisation is enabled, try to parse host names
234: as addresses before looking them up for canonicalisation. Fixes
235: bz#2074 and avoiding needless DNS lookups in some cases.

246: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
247: Remember which public keys have been used for authentication and
248: refuse to accept previously-used keys. This allows
249: <tt>AuthenticationMethods=publickey,publickey</tt> to require that
250: users authenticate using two <i>different</i> public keys.
251: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:

670: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network

696: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
697: To do so you need to write <i>floppy57.fs</i> to a floppy.
698: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
699: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

701:
702: <ul><pre>
703: ok <strong>boot floppy</strong>
704: or

710: will most likely fail.

790: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
791: OpenBSD ports system.
792: <p>
793: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
794: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

797: source tree, our ports tree is available via
798: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1.12 rpe 799: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
800: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
801: with a command like:
1.1 deraadt 802: <p>
803: <ul><pre>
804: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
805: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_7</strong>
806: </pre></ul>
807: <p>
808: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
809: server.]
810: <p>
1.16 rpe 811: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1.9 jca 812: ports for the 5.7 release will be made available if problems arise.
