52 + Show session open time in "show session"/"show user" detailed output.
53 + Have slaves with BGP configured drop BGP on receipt of a shutdown
54 signal, but hang about for an additional 5s to process any remaining
56 + Run regular_cleanups after processing the results of the select,
57 looking at a sufficient slice of each table to ensure that all
58 entries are examined at least once per second.
60 + Cluster changes from Michael, intended to prevent a stray master
61 from trashing a cluster:
62 = Ignore heartbeats from peers claiming to be the master before the
63 timeout on the old master has expired.
64 = A master receiving a stray heartbeat sends a unicast HB back, which
65 should cause the rogue to die due to the tie-breaker code.
66 = Keep probing the master for late heartbeats.
67 = Drop BGP as soon as we become master with the minumum required peers.
68 = Any PING seen from a master forces an election (rather than just
69 where basetime is zero).
70 = A slave which receives a LASTSEEN message (presumably a restarted
71 master) sends back new message type, C_MASTER which indicates the
72 address of the current master.
73 + New config option: cluster_master_min_adv which determines the minimum
74 number of up to date slaves required before the master will drop
77 + Add handling of "throttle=N" RADIUS attributes.
78 + Fix RADIUS indexing (should have 16K entries with 64 sockets).
80 + Fix leak in session freelist when initial RADIUS session allocation
83 + Add a Cisco-Avpair with intercept details to RADIUS Start/Stop
86 + Only send RADIUS stop record in sessionshutdown when there's an ip address.
87 + Reset .die on master takeover (so that dying sessions don't have to
88 hang around until the new master has the same uptime as the old one).
89 + Update .last_packet in cluster_handle_bytes only when there have
90 been bytes received from the modem (dead sessions were having the
91 idle timeout reset by stray packets).
93 + Ensure that sessionkill is not called on an unopened session (borks
95 + Bump MAXSESSION to 60K.
96 + Fix off-by-one errors in session/tunnel initialisation and
97 sessiont <-> sessionidt functions.
98 + Use session[s].opened consistently when checking for in-use sessions
99 (rather than session[s].tunnel).
100 + Use <= cluster_highest_sessionid rather than < MAXSESSION in a
102 + Don't kill a whole tunnel if we're out of sessions.
103 + Change session[s].ip to 0 if set from RADIUS to 255.255.255.254;
104 avoids the possibility that it will be interpreted as a valid IP
106 + Avoid a possible buffer overflow in processpap.
107 + Kill session if authentication was rejected.
109 + More DoS prevention: add packet_limit option to apply a hard limit
110 to downstream packets per session.
111 + Fix "clear counters".
112 + Log "Accepted connection to CLI" at 4 when connection is from localhost
113 to reduce noise in logs.
114 + Show time since last counter reset in "show counters".
116 + Throttle outgoing LASTSEEN packets to at most one per second for a

125 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP

128 startup-config (from Jonathan's Debian package patches).
129 - Read multiple packets off cluster_sockfd as well as udpfd, tunfd in an
130 attempt to avoid losing the cluster in high load (DoS) conditions.
