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

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