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

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