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