Mike, et al, The problem I was having with stunnel on a Windows box connecting with stunnel on a Unix server (Solaris in this case) turned out to be a mis-configuration of the syslog-ng server on Unix. I took a sample syslog-ng.conf from somewhere else and didn't know the impact of "max-connections(1)". Though I assume it is intended as a limit on the number of connections to the localhost (127.0.0.1:514), it effectively limits the number of in-bound connections from remote logging clients to 1 (in this case using port 5140). Removing this parameter allowed all of my test clients to simultaneously log to the server. Mike, the OpenSSL-generated cert works fine. Thanks. Regards, John Boxall
