           Summary: No SADB_EXPIRE message sent when soft byte lifetime is
                    reached
    Kernel Version: 2.6.0-test4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
             Owner: acme@conectiva.com.br
         Submitter: bbuesker@qualcomm.com


Distribution: Redhat 9
Hardware Environment: x86
Software Environment: ipsec-tools-0.2.2
Problem Description:
If byte lifetimes are used for IPsec security associations, the kernel does not
send an SADB_EXPIRE message to the key management daemon (racoon) when the soft
lifetime in terms of bytes is exceeded. Racoon only receives an SADB_EXPIRE
message when the hard lifetime is exceeded.

Steps to reproduce:
Reenable byte lifetimes in racoon. Set up a security policy requiring IPsec, and
with racoon running on two different machines, trigger the IKE negotiation by
sending a packet. Once the SA is established, continue sending packets until the
soft byte lifetime is exceeded. At this point, racoon should receive an
SADB_EXPIRE message indicating the soft lifetime has been exceeded. This message
is never sent by the kernel.
