147 + Show session open time in "show session"/"show user" detailed output.
148 + Have slaves with BGP configured drop BGP on receipt of a shutdown
149 signal, but hang about for an additional 5s to process any remaining
151 + Run regular_cleanups after processing the results of the select,
152 looking at a sufficient slice of each table to ensure that all
153 entries are examined at least once per second.
155 + Cluster changes from Michael, intended to prevent a stray master
156 from trashing a cluster:
157 = Ignore heartbeats from peers claiming to be the master before the
158 timeout on the old master has expired.
159 = A master receiving a stray heartbeat sends a unicast HB back, which
160 should cause the rogue to die due to the tie-breaker code.
161 = Keep probing the master for late heartbeats.
162 = Drop BGP as soon as we become master with the minumum required peers.
163 = Any PING seen from a master forces an election (rather than just
164 where basetime is zero).
165 = A slave which receives a LASTSEEN message (presumably a restarted
166 master) sends back new message type, C_MASTER which indicates the
167 address of the current master.
168 + New config option: cluster_master_min_adv which determines the minimum
169 number of up to date slaves required before the master will drop
172 + Add handling of "throttle=N" RADIUS attributes.
173 + Fix RADIUS indexing (should have 16K entries with 64 sockets).
175 + Fix leak in session freelist when initial RADIUS session allocation
178 + Add a Cisco-Avpair with intercept details to RADIUS Start/Stop
181 + Only send RADIUS stop record in sessionshutdown when there's an ip address.
182 + Reset .die on master takeover (so that dying sessions don't have to
183 hang around until the new master has the same uptime as the old one).
184 + Update .last_packet in cluster_handle_bytes only when there have
185 been bytes received from the modem (dead sessions were having the
186 idle timeout reset by stray packets).
188 + Ensure that sessionkill is not called on an unopened session (borks
190 + Bump MAXSESSION to 60K.
191 + Fix off-by-one errors in session/tunnel initialisation and
192 sessiont <-> sessionidt functions.
193 + Use session[s].opened consistently when checking for in-use sessions
194 (rather than session[s].tunnel).
195 + Use <= cluster_highest_sessionid rather than < MAXSESSION in a
197 + Don't kill a whole tunnel if we're out of sessions.
198 + Change session[s].ip to 0 if set from RADIUS to 255.255.255.254;
199 avoids the possibility that it will be interpreted as a valid IP
201 + Avoid a possible buffer overflow in processpap.
202 + Kill session if authentication was rejected.
204 + More DoS prevention: add packet_limit option to apply a hard limit
205 to downstream packets per session.
206 + Fix "clear counters".
207 + Log "Accepted connection to CLI" at 4 when connection is from localhost
208 to reduce noise in logs.
209 + Show time since last counter reset in "show counters".
211 + Throttle outgoing LASTSEEN packets to at most one per second for a

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