Problem running Stunnel
by Robin Martin 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

When I run stunnel nothing seems to be happening. The terminal accepts = the command but does nothing. The log file doesn't produce any output = either nor does running stunnel in the foreground. As I understand it, I am trying to wrap my imapd server using stunnel. = Obviously installed imapd, and openssl.=20 In my config file I've got [imaps] accept =3D 993 exec =3D /usr/local/libexec/imapd execargs =3D imapd What is meant to happen when I run stunnel, is there a way that I can = test if it is working. I previously tested imapd using telnet 0 143. I'm = using this=20 http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.4.0.html article but its out of date, uses 3.x command line inputs, so I've tried = to convert those to the config file. Thanks, your help is greatly appreciated. Regards, ---- Robin Martin Email: robmar(a)gmail.com

stunnel dies on win32 - Try again with out HTML
by Richard Whiffen 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

We have a problem where stunnel dies on our Win32 boxes when we attempt load tests: stunnel 4.05 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = stunnel.pem RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel session = 300 seconds taskbar = yes verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds When we had one stunnel.cnf for all services it would crash almost imediately (less than a minute after starting the load). When we created separate processes for each target server it lasts longer, 5 to 10 minutes, but still dies. The frustrating part is we get no indications in the log files of what's going on. It dies in seemingly random spots. The last log entry is never the same and there's nothing in the cmd window that launched it to indicate what happened. The conf is fairly simple: #script test conf cert = \stunnel\ohetestisg1.pem Cafile = \stunnel\css-ca-cert.pem CApath = \stunnel\certs output = \stunnel\stunnel-media.log #verify = 3 client = yes debug = 7 [**mediaserver] accept = 127.0.0.3:80 connect = 10.162.130.26:444 TIMEOUTclose = 0 We're connecting to a Cisco Content Server Switch if that helps. So I'm wondering where to go next. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

stunnel: command not found
by Robin Martin 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Hi Guys, I am trying to install stunnel-4.05 on Mac 10.2.8. I am following this http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.4.0.html article. I am up to Step 8: Testing your setup. The article is old, but I am aware that stunnel 4.* requires a configuration file rather than command line inputs. My config file is [imapd] accept = 993 exec = /usr/local/libexec/imapd execargs = imaps My problem is, when I run (taken from the article) sudo stunnel -c -f -r localhost:993 I get the following, stunnel: command not found Can I use command line arguments here? It seems to be a very non-specific error. While hunting around for an answer I read somewhere else that stunnel likes to die silently? So perhaps I am doing something wrong but getting a vague error message? Is there a log file that I can look at? Thank you for any help, it is appreciated and I hope I've provided sufficient information. Best Regards, Robin _________________________________________________________________ Find love today with ninemsn personals. Click here: http://ninemsn.match.com?referrer=hotmailtagline

by Steven Timm 23 Sep '04

There's an example of rsync over stunnel at http://www.stunnel.org/examples/rsync_mike.html but it appears to be using stunnel 3 syntax. Has anyone successfully made this work using stunnel 4? right now /etc/stunnel.conf is same on client and server, has [rsync] accept = 2222 connect = 873 Steve Timm ------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven C.
