Title Review: OpenBSD 3.6 shows steady improvement
Date 2004.11.17 12:00
Author StoneLion
Topic
http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/11/16/1544210

The OpenBSD team earlier this month released
version 3.6
of the free operating system, with support for more hardware, updated
application software, and bug fixes included. This time around OpenBSD has
added support for multi-CPU systems, a number of drivers for new peripheral
hardware, and about 200 more applications to the Ports tree. We took the new
version for a spin, and liked what we found.


Since we've previously reviewed
OpenBSD 3.5,
we won't repeat everything, but here is a quick list of the general features
intrinsic to the operating system:

* OpenBSD is secure by default -- in other words, the base system that
you install will not have any security flaws or enabled services that could
compromise the integrity of your system.

* OpenBSD is easy to install, set up, and use, but it's all done from
the command line. If you want to learn and use OpenBSD, you'd better be
familiar with the man command.

* The documentation via the manual pages is superb.

* All of the software you'll need to run a Web, mail, NFS, DHCP, or
file server is installed and ready to be configured and enabled.

* New programs are easy to install, update, and manage through the
Ports system.

* OpenBSD includes integrated
cryptography, which is used by some parts of the base system to enhance
security.

OpenBSD doesn't necessarily make as complete a desktop system as FreeBSD or
one of the desktop GNU/Linux distributions does, but you
can
certainly use it to get email, chat on IRC, browse the Web, or write a book.
There are no hardware accelerated drivers for Nvidia, ATI, or Intel video
chips, so 3D games are out of the question, but you can still get good color
depth and resolution in X11 for 2D applications. Desktop environments like
KDE 3.2.3 and GNOME 2.6.2 are available through the Ports system, as are
several window managers and a host of GUI-based programs that run in them.
In all there are more than 2,700 programs in the OpenBSD 3.6 Ports tree
which, unlike FreeBSD's Ports tree, remains static for each release. In
other words, OpenBSD Ports follows the same release schedule that the base
system does, as opposed to the maintainers updating the Ports as they see
fit. This means that you'll be stuck with the same software versions until
the next release (six months), but it also means that each OpenBSD
installation will have exactly the same software on it, providing a
standard, stable environment for sysadmins.

The quickest way to get OpenBSD 3.6 is through an FTP install. You download
a small CD ISO or diskette image, boot from it, then download the
installation sets from the OpenBSD FTP servers. Every time I try this I have
some kind of problem, but the CD set always works perfectly on my systems.

Speaking of which, the OpenBSD 3.6 CD set
is an inexpensive $45 (or 45
euros). Anyone seriously
considering OpenBSD on the i386, SPARC/SPARC64, AMD64, VAX, or macPPC
architectures will find the CD set to be a much more convenient and speedy
method of installation.

OpenBSD's installation routine is spartan, but quick and simple. It's merely
a script that goes through each step of a complete installation or upgrade
of the base system. Depending on the speed of your computer and the size of
your hard drive, installation can take between 10 and 30 minutes, and
upgrades will usually take about half that. The upgrade script unfortunately
does not upgrade precompiled application packages or any programs that
you've installed through Ports, and there is no Portupgrade program to
automate this process as there is in FreeBSD. To upgrade your programs,
you'll have to reinstall each one individually -- not difficult to do, but
certainly tedious if you have a number of programs on your system. Some
people prefer to deinstall all packages prior to the upgrade, then reinstall
the new versions afterward. Packages are not as easy to get from the FTP
repository as Ports are, but are much quicker to install on slower systems
and easier to distribute to multiple installations.

If you choose to upgrade your Ports after the upgrade, you can run the
/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date script to determine which ones
need to be upgraded, then locate each one and deinstall and reinstall it.

New in 3.6

Included with the standard installation are OpenSSH 3.9 (OpenSSH is part of
the OpenBSD project) and OpenSSL 0.9.7d; GCC 2.95.3 and 3.3.2 with the
ProPolice add-on installed
and enabled by default; Perl 5.8.5; Apache 1.3.29 with default chrooting
, privilege revocation,
mod_ssl 2.8.16 and DSO support; Sendmail 8.13.0 with libmilter
; BIND 9.2.3; Heimdal 0.6rc1; and a customized fork
of XFree86 4.4.0 without the new, more restrictive licensing. Other packages
like Lynx and Sudo are also included, and most of the above-listed programs
include specialized patches from the OpenBSD team to enhance security and
functionality.

Hands On

I tested out OpenBSD 3.6 on my most temperamental system: a Dell Inspiron
3800 laptop. I had no trouble with my PCMCIA Xircom wired or Linksys
wireless network cards, nor did I have any trouble switching between the
two. I could install and use XFree86 without any trouble, and everything
seemed to work just as perfectly as it did in the previous release. I didn't
have any multi-CPU systems running the new SMP support on either the AMD64
or i386 editions.

The OpenBSD project cannot guarantee the security of programs in the Ports
tree, but they do make an effort to ensure that obviously insecure programs
don't make it into Ports. If a security bulletin is sent out about programs
in either the base system or Ports, OpenBSD provides patches individually or
as a separate branch of the entire project. The process for applying a
single patch is detailed at the top of each patch file, making installation
as easy as following a couple of lines of instructions. As of this writing
there are no listed security bulletins, but if there are, they'd appear here
.

The PATCH branch of OpenBSD is one of three separate yet related divisions
of the project. The first and most obvious is RELEASE, which remains
consistent throughout the six-month lifespan of an official OpenBSD release.
PATCH is RELEASE plus any security updates, and is updated as patches are
released. The third branch is CURRENT, which is the cutting edge of OpenBSD
development. Obviously you don't want to run in-development code on a
production machine, so CURRENT is really only useful to people interested in
contributing to the project. These branches are not isolated to the base
system; they also include the entire Ports tree.

Conclusions

I'm certain the OpenBSD team would think this a trivial matter, but for the
next version I would really like to see a Portupgrade-like program to
upgrade the compiled Ports to the new version without a great deal of
hassle.

Aside from that single gripe, what strikes me most about OpenBSD in general
is the professional manner in which it is developed and released. By
professional I don't mean "corporate," as in meaningless meetings, bad
design strategies, incompetent bosses, unreasonable deadlines, etc. I mean
it's released on time with few problems and it does exactly what it claims
to do.

Each release is a small step forward; operating system development should be
a battle of inches instead of historically disastrous attempts at giant
leaps, and OpenBSD 3.6 personifies that philosophy. With the exception of
SMP support, every enhancement new to 3.6 is a few inches forward. Some
things may seem little but mean a great deal to those who requested and
developed them. Others might not be able to notice any difference at all
between 3.5 and 3.6.

OpenBSD 3.6 is among the better AMD64 operating systems out there, which may
make it a suitable server replacement for FreeBSD, which continues to suffer
from a horrible AMD64 SMP implementation. If you want to set up a cheap,
secure home server, or if you'd like to get into using the command line
interface more proficiently, OpenBSD 3.6 is an excellent operating system to
choose.

version 3.6 of the free operating system, with support for more hardware,=
updated application software, and bug fixes included. This time around Ope=
nBSD=20
has added support for multi-CPU systems, a number of drivers for new periph=
eral=20
hardware, and about 200 more applications to the Ports tree. We took the ne=
w=20
version for a spin, and liked what we found.



Since we've previously href=3D"http://os.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=3D04/07/20/180234&tid=3D=
8">reviewed=20
OpenBSD 3.5, we won't repeat everything, but here is a quick list of th=
e=20
general features intrinsic to the operating system:



  • OpenBSD is secure by default -- in other words, the base system that =
    you=20
    install will not have any security flaws or enabled services that could=
    compromise the integrity of your system.=20
  • OpenBSD is easy to install, set up, and use, but it's all done from t=
    he=20
    command line. If you want to learn and use OpenBSD, you'd better be famil=
    iar=20
    with the man command.=20
  • The documentation via the manual pages is superb.=20
  • All of the software you'll need to run a Web, mail, NFS, DHCP, or fil=
    e=20
    server is installed and ready to be configured and enabled.=20
  • New programs are easy to install, update, and manage through the Port=
    s=20
    system.=20
  • OpenBSD includes integ=
    rated=20
    cryptography
    , which is used by some parts of the base system to enhan=
    ce=20
    security.

OpenBSD doesn't necessarily make as complete a desktop system as FreeBSD=
or=20
one of the desktop GNU/Linux distributions does, but href=3D"http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=3D04/10/15/181232&=
tid=3D130">you=20
can certainly use it to get email, chat on IRC, browse the Web, or writ=
e a=20
book. There are no hardware accelerated drivers for Nvidia, ATI, or Intel v=
ideo=20
chips, so 3D games are out of the question, but you can still get good colo=
r=20
depth and resolution in X11 for 2D applications. Desktop environments like =
KDE=20
3.2.3 and GNOME 2.6.2 are available through the Ports system, as are severa=
l=20
window managers and a host of GUI-based programs that run in them. In all t=
here=20
are more than 2,700 programs in the OpenBSD 3.6 Ports tree which, unlike=20
FreeBSD's Ports tree, remains static for each release. In other words, Open=
BSD=20
Ports follows the same release schedule that the base system does, as oppos=
ed to=20
the maintainers updating the Ports as they see fit. This means that you'll =
be=20
stuck with the same software versions until the next release (six months), =
but=20
it also means that each OpenBSD installation will have exactly the same sof=
tware=20
on it, providing a standard, stable environment for sysadmins.


The quickest way to get OpenBSD 3.6 is through an FTP install. You downl=
oad a=20
small CD ISO or diskette image, boot from it, then download the installatio=
n=20
sets from the OpenBSD FTP servers. Every time I try this I have some kind o=
f=20
problem, but the CD set always works perfectly on my systems.


Speaking of which, the href=3D"https://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order">OpenBSD 3.6 CD set is =
an=20
inexpensive $45 (or =
45=20
euros
). Anyone seriously considering OpenBSD on the i386, SPARC/SPARC64=
,=20
AMD64, VAX, or macPPC architectures will find the CD set to be a much more=
convenient and speedy method of installation.


OpenBSD's installation routine is spartan, but quick and simple. It's me=
rely=20
a script that goes through each step of a complete installation or upgrade =
of=20
the base system. Depending on the speed of your computer and the size of yo=
ur=20
hard drive, installation can take between 10 and 30 minutes, and upgrades w=
ill=20
usually take about half that. The upgrade script unfortunately does not upg=
rade=20
precompiled application packages or any programs that you've installed thro=
ugh=20
Ports, and there is no Portupgrade program to automate this process as ther=
e is=20
in FreeBSD. To upgrade your programs, you'll have to reinstall each one=20
individually -- not difficult to do, but certainly tedious if you have a nu=
mber=20
of programs on your system. Some people prefer to deinstall all packages pr=
ior=20
to the upgrade, then reinstall the new versions afterward. Packages are not=
as=20
easy to get from the FTP repository as Ports are, but are much quicker to=
install on slower systems and easier to distribute to multiple=20
installations.


If you choose to upgrade your Ports after the upgrade, you can run the=
/usr/ports/infrastructure/build/out-of-date script to determine which ones=
need=20
to be upgraded, then locate each one and deinstall and reinstall it.


New in 3.6


Included with the standard installation are OpenSSH 3.9 (OpenSSH is part=
of=20
the OpenBSD project) and OpenSSL 0.9.7d; GCC 2.95.3 and 3.3.2 with the href=3D"http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp">ProPolice add-on=
installed and enabled by default; Perl 5.8.5; Apache 1.3.29 with href=3D"http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#httpdchroot">default chrootin=
g,=20
privilege revocation, mod_ssl 2.8.16 and DSO support; Sendmail 8.13.0 with =
href=3D"http://www.milter.org/">libmilter; BIND 9.2.3; Heimdal 0.6rc1; =
and a=20
customized fork of XFree86 4.4.0 without the new, more restrictive licensin=
g.=20
Other packages like Lynx and Sudo are also included, and most of the=20
above-listed programs include specialized patches from the OpenBSD team to=
enhance security and functionality.


Hands On


I tested out OpenBSD 3.6 on my most temperamental system: a Dell Inspiro=
n=20
3800 laptop. I had no trouble with my PCMCIA Xircom wired or Linksys wirele=
ss=20
network cards, nor did I have any trouble switching between the two. I coul=
d=20
install and use XFree86 without any trouble, and everything seemed to work =
just=20
as perfectly as it did in the previous release. I didn't have any multi-CPU=
systems running the new SMP support on either the AMD64 or i386 editions.<=
/P>

The OpenBSD project cannot guarantee the security of programs in the Por=
ts=20
tree, but they do make an effort to ensure that obviously insecure programs=
don't make it into Ports. If a security bulletin is sent out about program=
s in=20
either the base system or Ports, OpenBSD provides patches individually or a=
s a=20
separate branch of the entire project. The process for applying a single pa=
tch=20
is detailed at the top of each patch file, making installation as easy as=
following a couple of lines of instructions. As of this writing there are =
no=20
listed security bulletins, but if there are, href=3D"http://www.openbsd.org/errata.html">they'd appear here.


The PATCH branch of OpenBSD is one of three separate yet related divisio=
ns of=20
the project. The first and most obvious is RELEASE, which remains consisten=
t=20
throughout the six-month lifespan of an official OpenBSD release. PATCH is=
RELEASE plus any security updates, and is updated as patches are released.=
The=20
third branch is CURRENT, which is the cutting edge of OpenBSD development.=
Obviously you don't want to run in-development code on a production machin=
e, so=20
CURRENT is really only useful to people interested in contributing to the=
project. These branches are not isolated to the base system; they also inc=
lude=20
the entire Ports tree.


Conclusions


I'm certain the OpenBSD team would think this a trivial matter, but for =
the=20
next version I would really like to see a Portupgrade-like program to upgra=
de=20
the compiled Ports to the new version without a great deal of hassle.


Aside from that single gripe, what strikes me most about OpenBSD in gene=
ral=20
is the professional manner in which it is developed and released. By=20
professional I don't mean "corporate," as in meaningless meetings, bad desi=
gn=20
strategies, incompetent bosses, unreasonable deadlines, etc. I mean it's=20
released on time with few problems and it does exactly what it claims to do=
.


Each release is a small step forward; operating system development shoul=
d be=20
a battle of inches instead of historically disastrous attempts at giant lea=
ps,=20
and OpenBSD 3.6 personifies that philosophy. With the exception of SMP supp=
ort,=20
every enhancement new to 3.6 is a few inches forward. Some things may seem=
little but mean a great deal to those who requested and developed them. Ot=
hers=20
might not be able to notice any difference at all between 3.5 and 3.6.


OpenBSD 3.6 is among the better AMD64 operating systems out there, which=
may=20
make it a suitable server replacement for FreeBSD, which continues to suffe=
r=20
from a horrible AMD64 SMP implementation. If you want to set up a cheap, se=
cure=20
home server, or if you'd like to get into using the command line interface =
more=20
proficiently, OpenBSD 3.6 is an excellent operating system to choose.
