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

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