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

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

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