271 9e5dd4b0 2011-04-21 deraadt <li>Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this

301 e0b84c05 2011-04-13 sobrado and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA

308 e0b84c05 2011-04-13 sobrado available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"

326 cce97a6e 2019-05-27 bentley <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/sftp.1">sftp(1)</a>:
327 e0b84c05 2011-04-13 sobrado the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory

564 7ad3f9bb 2011-03-15 deraadt read INSTALL.i386.
567 7ad3f9bb 2011-03-15 deraadt To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
568 7ad3f9bb 2011-03-15 deraadt at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
