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

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