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

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