label back to its previous state.<br>
o When running in auto-mode, sysmerge(8) will now install binary files<br>
from X sets automatically.<br>
o sysmerge(8) now creates a report summary file in the work directory.<br>
o httpd(8) now drops privileges to www/www rather than nobody/nogroup<br>
if the User/Group entries are not present within the configuration file.<br>
o ELF based platforms now generate ELF core dumps and gdb(1) is now able<br>
to read ELF core dumps.<br>

certificates when connecting as a client from relays.<br>
<br>
- pf(4) improvements:<br>
o Enabled pf(4) by default in the rc.conf(8).<br>
o Removed pf(4) scrub rules, and only do one kind of packet reassembly.<br>
Rulesets with scrub rules need to be modified because of this.<br>
o Regular rules can now have per-rule scrub options.<br>
o Added new "match" keyword which only applies rule options but does<br>
not change the current pass/block state.<br>
o Make all pf(4) operations transactional to improve atomicity of reloads.<br>
o Stricter pf(4) checking for ICMP and ICMPv6 packets.<br>
o Various improvements to pfsync(4) to lower sync traffic bandwidth and<br>
optionally allow active-active firewall setups.<br>

<br>
- softraid(4) improvements:<br>
o Rebuild support has been added and RAID 1 volumes can now be rebuilt.<br>

chunk ordering now being respected. Duplicated chunks and version<br>
mismatches are also handled gracefully.<br>
o Volumes with missing members are now brought online.<br>
<br>
- OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD and other routing daemon improvements:<br>
o In bgpd(8), rework most of the RDE to allow multiple RIBs.<br>
It is possible to filter per-RIB and attach neighbors to a specific RIB.<br>
o Added an option to bgpd(8) to change the "connect-retry" timer.<br>
o Allow bgpd.conf(5) and bgpctl(8) to contain 32-bit ASN numbers written in<br>
ASPLAIN format.<br>
o Fix bgpd(8) to correctly encode MP unreachable NLRI so IPv6 prefixes get<br>
removed correctly.<br>
o Changed the behaviour of "redistribute default" for ospfd(8) and ripd(8).<br>
A default route has to be present in the FIB to be correctly advertised.<br>
o Make ospfd(8) and ripd(8) track reject and blackhole routes and allow<br>
them to be redistributed even if pointing to 127.0.0.1.<br>
o Allow an alternate control socket to be specified for ospfd(8).<br>
o ospfd(8) can now be bound to an alternate routing domain.<br>
o Fix ospfd(8) route metric for "redistribute default".<br>
o Initial version of ldpctl(8) and ldpd(8), a label distribution protocol<br>
daemon for mpls.<br>
o Make dvmrpd(8) RDE aware of multicast group members per interface.<br>
o Added support for pruning in dvmrpd(8).<br>
<br>

o Added support to ping(8), traceroute(8), arp(8), nc(1) and telnet(1) to<br>
specify which routing domain to use.<br>
o Allow ifconfig(8) to turn off IPv6 completely for an interface and<br>
make rtsold(8) turn on inet6 on the interface.<br>
o Routes track the interface link state.<br>
o route(8) flush accepts "-iface" or "-priority" to only flush routes<br>
matching these conditions.<br>
o Multiple dhclients can now coexist without causing mayhem.<br>
o Make wireless interfaces have an interface priority of 4 by default.<br>
Makes them less preferred then wired interfaces.<br>
o Do not accept IPv4 ICMP redirects by default.<br>
o Added the MAC address to the log entries in dhclient(8).<br>
o Make systat(1) show interface description names in the interface view,<br>
and add new NFS server and client views.<br>
o Make tun(4) emulate link state depending on the open and close of the<br>
device fd.<br>
o Use pf state-table information to speed up decision on whether a packet<br>
is to be delivered locally or forwarded.<br>
o More routing socket checks added to make userland applications more<br>
resilient to kernel changes.<br>
<br>
- Install/Upgrade process changes:<br>
o The installer has almost been rewritten, primarily with a focus on<br>
simplifying the installation process.<br>
o Automatic disk layout can now be used during installation, allowing for<br>
simple single-disk installs.<br>
o VLAN support is now available in some installation media.<br>
o A standard user account can now be created during the install process.<br>
<br>

amd64: 5544 powerpc: 5427 sparc: 3711 mips64: 3443<br>
arm: 5291 hppa: 4790 vax: 1785<br>
<br>
- As usual, steady improvements in manual pages and other documentation.<br>
<br>

<br>
Even though the list is a summary of the most important changes<br>
made to OpenBSD, it still is a very very long list.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- SECURITY AND ERRATA --------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
we provide patches for known security threats and other important<br>
issues discovered after each CD release. As usual, between the<br>
creation of the OpenBSD 4.6 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 4.6<br>
release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems<br>
(note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by<br>
default). Our continued research into security means we will find<br>
new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as<br>
possible. Therefore, we advise regular visits to<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html</a><br>
and<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html</a><br>
<br>
Security patch announcements are sent to the security-announce@OpenBSD.org<br>
mailing list. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html</a><br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- CD-ROM SALES ---------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
OpenBSD 4.6 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $50 CDN and<br>
is available via mail order and from a number of contacts around the<br>
world. The set includes a colourful booklet which carefully explains the<br>
installation of OpenBSD. A new set of cute little stickers is also<br>
included (sorry, but our FTP mirror sites do not support STP, the Sticker<br>
Transfer Protocol). As an added bonus, the second CD contains an audio<br>
track, a song entitled "Planet of the Users". MP3 and OGG versions of<br>
the audio track can be found on the first CD.<br>
<br>
Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#46" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#46</a><br>
<br>
Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD<br>
project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD<br>
will continue to make another release six months from now.<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD 4.6 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following four platforms:<br>
<br>
o i386<br>
o amd64<br>
o macppc<br>
o sparc64<br>
<br>
(Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method).<br>
<br>
For more information on ordering CD-ROMs, see:<br>

<br>
The above web page lists a number of places where OpenBSD CD-ROMs<br>
can be purchased from. For our default mail order, go directly to:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order" target="_blank">https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order</a><br>
<br>
All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support<br>
our future efforts. Additionally, donations to the project are<br>
highly appreciated, as described in more detail at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding</a><br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- OPENBSD FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts,<br>
the OpenBSD Foundation (<a href="http://www.openbsdfoundation.org" target="_blank">http://www.openbsdfoundation.org</a>) is a Canadian<br>
not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and<br>
issue receipts. In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a<br>
business expense writeoff, so this is certainly a consideration for<br>
some organizations or businesses. There may also be exposure benefits<br>
since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases.<br>
In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's<br>
infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at<br>
<a href="mailto:directors@openbsdfoundation.org">directors@openbsdfoundation.org</a> for more information.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- T-SHIRT SALES --------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD distribution companies also sell tshirts and polo shirts.<br>
And our users like them too. We have a variety of shirts available,<br>
with the new and old designs, from our web ordering system at, as<br>
described above.<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD 4.6 t-shirts are available now. We also sell our older<br>
shirts, as well as a selection of OpenSSH t-shirts.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- FTP INSTALLS ---------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily<br>
installed via FTP. Typically you need a single small piece of boot<br>
media (e.g., a boot floppy) and then the rest of the files can be<br>
installed from a number of locations, including directly off the<br>
Internet. Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that<br>
you find all of the documentation you will need while performing<br>
an install via FTP. With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation<br>
is easier to find.<br>
<br>
1) Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp<br>
mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html</a><br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/ftplist" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/ftplist</a><br>
<br>
As of Oct 1, 2009, the following ftp mirror sites have the 4.6 release:<br>
<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> Sweden<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> NYC, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> CO, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> CA, USA<br>
<a href="ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> IL, USA<br>
<br>
The release is also available at the master site:<br>
<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/</a> Alberta, Canada<br>
<br>
However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror.<br>
<br>
Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update.<br>
<br>
2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory<br>
pub/OpenBSD/4.6/ which contains these files and directories.<br>
This is a list of what you will see:<br>
<br>
ANNOUNCEMENT armish/ mvme68k/ sparc64/<br>
Changelogs/ ftplist mvme88k/ src.tar.gz<br>
HARDWARE hp300/ packages/ sys.tar.gz<br>
PACKAGES hppa/ ports.tar.gz tools/<br>
PORTS i386/ root.mail vax/<br>
README landisk/ sgi/ xenocara.tar.gz<br>
alpha/ mac68k/ socppc/ zaurus/<br>
amd64/ macppc/ sparc/<br>
<br>
It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following<br>
files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports.<br>
<br>
README - generic README<br>
HARDWARE - list of hardware we support<br>
PORTS - description of our "ports" tree<br>
PACKAGES - description of pre-compiled packages<br>
root.mail - a copy of root's mail at initial login.<br>
(This is really worthwhile reading).<br>
<br>
3) Read the README file. It is short, and a quick read will make<br>
sure you understand what else you need to fetch.<br>
<br>
4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture,<br>
for example, i386. This is a list of what you will see:<br>
<br>
INSTALL.i386 cd46.iso floppyB46.fs pxeboot*<br>
INSTALL.linux cdboot* floppyC46.fs xbase46.tgz<br>
MD5 cdbr* game46.tgz xetc46.tgz<br>
base46.tgz cdemu46.iso index.txt xfont46.tgz<br>
bsd* comp46.tgz install46.iso xserv46.tgz<br>
<a href="http://bsd.mp" target="_blank">bsd.mp</a>* etc46.tgz man46.tgz xshare46.tgz<br>
bsd.rd* floppy46.fs misc46.tgz<br>
<br>
If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386<br>
and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install46.iso files. Consult the<br>
INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images<br>
you need (or simply fetch all of them).<br>
<br>
If you use the install46.iso file (roughly 200MB in size), then you<br>
do not need the various *.tgz files since they are contained on that<br>
one-step ISO-format install CD.<br>
<br>
5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called<br>
README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the<br>
file called INSTALL.i386. INSTALL.i386 may tell you that you<br>
need to fetch other files.<br>
<br>
6) Just in case, take a peek at:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html" target="_blank">http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html</a><br>
<br>
This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while<br>
creating the 4.6 release, or the significant bugs we fixed<br>
post-release which we think our users should have fixes for.<br>
Patches and workarounds are clearly described there.<br>
<br>
Note: If you end up needing to write a raw floppy using Windows,<br>
you can use "fdimage.exe" located in the pub/OpenBSD/4.6/tools<br>
directory to do so.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- <a href="http://X.ORG" target="_blank">X.ORG</a> FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES -----------------------------------------<br>
<br>
X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release<br>
contains X.Org 7.4. Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including<br>
amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install<br>
X.Org quite easily. Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have<br>
customized it for OpenBSD.<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- PORTS TREE -----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building<br>
third party software. The software has been verified to build and<br>
run on the various OpenBSD architectures. The 4.6 ports collection,<br>
including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD<br>
set. Please see the PORTS file for more information.<br>
<br>
Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server<br>
and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD. Also, many<br>
popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire<br>
to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below).<br>
<br>
------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>
- BINARY PACKAGES WE PROVIDE -------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
A large number of binary packages are provided. Please see the PACKAGES<br>
file (<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/PACKAGES" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/PACKAGES</a>) for more details.<br>

<br>
The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained<br>
above, and the README (<a href="ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/README" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.6/README</a>)<br>
file explains how to deal with these source files. For those who<br>
are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems<br>
can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/4.6/ directory:<br>
<br>
xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz<br>
