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

133 of changes (that has kept in contact with the LAC through the
135 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
136 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
137 packets in this state.

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