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

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