46:
47: <p>
1.1 deraadt 48: OpenBSD looks a lot like NetBSD (which it is derived from, following
49: the 4.4BSD roots), but is now being developed seperately. Good changes
50: from other free operating systems will be merged in (of course, depending
1.24 deraadt 51: on various factors like developer time for example.) OpenBSD tracks
52: NetBSD changes very closely; say anywhere between 2 days to 10 days
53: behind the state of NetBSD-current all the time. Hence you can truly
54: say that OpenBSD is NetBSD <b>PLUS MORE STUFF</b>.
1.18 fn 55: </p>
1.1 deraadt 56:
57: <p>
1.22 deraadt 58: Various additions have been made. This is only a small partial list of
1.25 deraadt 59: the major machine independent changes (ie. it is the most interesting
60: changes or what people ask about most often). Check the specific port
61: you are interested in for further details of that port -- many of them
62: have been extended too.
1.1 deraadt 63: <ul>
1.35 deraadt 64: <li>Many many NetBSD PR's fixed (which NetBSD has not yet fixed)
1.22 deraadt 65: <li>New curses library, including libform, libpanel and libmenu.
1.25 deraadt 66: <li>a termlib library which understands termcap.db, needed for new curses.

1.22 deraadt 68: <li>ipfilter for filtering dangerous packets
69: <li>better ELF support

1.25 deraadt 82: <li>Some ddb improvements and extensions
83: <li>Numerous scsi fixes

1.33 deraadt 88: <li>Boot kernels with "-c" to edit/enable/disable device configuration tables
1.38 deraadt 89: <li>pax as tar, gnutar is toast
1.42 deraadt 90: <li>using AT&T awk, gawk is toast
1.38 deraadt 91: <li>Even more security fixes.
1.47 deraadt 92: <li>Accepts FreeBSD MD5 passwords in password maps, soon will be able to
93: generate them too
1.40 deraadt 94: <li>Linux ext2fs and BSD4.4 LFS support being worked on.

1.53 deraadt 101: <li>Protection from the udp spamming and ftp bounce attacks.
102: <li>Significantly improved ftp daemon.

1.44 deraadt 410: Here is how someone using anoncvs regularily would update his
411: source tree:
412: <pre>
413: # setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs
414: # cd /usr
415: # cvs -q get -PA src
416: </pre>
417: or similarily later on he might try
418: <pre>
419: # cd /usr/src
420: # cvs -q up -PAd
421: </pre>
1.58 deraadt 422: Everytime you ran this it would syncronize your /usr/src tree. It would
423: not destroy any of your local changes, rather it would attempt to merge
424: changes in. If you use obj directories (not obj symbolic links) you may
425: wish to append "-I obj" to the cvs command line, this will keep cvs from
426: spitting out a warning about all the obj directories it is going to
427: encounter which are not in the repository.

1.1 deraadt 431: The CVS man page (included with the CVS sources) has much more
1.18 fn 432: information about how CVS can be used.

1.1 deraadt 435: <p>
436: The anoncvs service gives fledgling developers a chance to learn CVS
437: operation and get thoroughly involved in the development process
438: before getting "commit" access -- as a result of showing useful
439: skills and high quality results they will naturally later be given
1.18 fn 440: developer access. As well, people providing patches can create
441: their "diff"s relative to the CVS tree, which will ease integration.
442: </p>
443:
444: <p>
445: The CVS client uses rsh to talk to the CVS server. If some local
446: security measure like a firewall (or imperfect protocol emulators
447: like slirp) prevents you from using rsh, you may be able to use
1.58 deraadt 448: <a href=http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh>ssh</a> instead. In this case,
449: one sets the environment variable <strong>CVS_RSH</strong> to point
450: to ssh (typically <strong>/usr/local/bin/ssh</strong>). To reduce the
451: performance hit the anoncvs server would take it is recommended (and
452: requested) that you disable encryption. If your local site prevents
453: you from connecting out to port 22 (which ssh defaults to using) use
454: port 2022.

1.1 deraadt 458: Do not be tempted to turn on compression since CVS already compresses.
459: Use something like the following in your <strong>$HOME/.ssh/config</strong>
460: file.

469: If you wish to be a new anoncvs mirror site, please contact the anoncvs
470: <a href=mailto:deraadt@theos.com>maintainer</a>.
1.16 deraadt 471: Anoncvs mirrors require about 300MB of disk, and use up to 4MB of swap
1.1 deraadt 472: per anoncvs user (assuming the user does a large operation; while smaller
473: operations use fewer resources, anoncvs still makes much more of an
1.18 fn 474: impact than ftp or sup). Such anoncvs machines should have excellent
475: network connectivity for the area they are expected to serve. A
476: <a href=anoncvs.shar>document</a>
477: which describes the setup of anoncvs servers is available.
