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