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

134 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
135 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
136 packets in this state.

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