[stunnel-users] stunnel logging problem

Mon Feb 28 18:23:29 CET 2005

Hi,

I work for a company which has a custom embedded Linux platform, and have
been working with stunnel for some time but have never seen this problem.  I
have seen it with stunnel 4.04 and 4.07, which is compiled on a Redhat
7.2ish platform, but newer SSL libraries.  (below my sig is the stunnel
info).

Basically I use a config file, but when debug= and output= is commented out,
stunnel seems to cause a problem which resets the embedded unit.  If I
uncomment them both and use output=/var/log/stunnel.log ( or /dev/null )
everything works fine.  Not sure where to look for the problem that is
causing this since I can't even get a core dump.  I looged in s_log() but
nothing stuck out as being wrong.

Thanks for any help you can lend,

-Brian
