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

150 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
151 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP

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

182 either via Filter-Id RADIUS responses, or using the CLI.
183 - Drop ip address from LOG.
184 - autothrottle: revise parsing; ignore lcp:interface-config avpairs
