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

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