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

123 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
124 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
125 packets in this state.

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