I have been trying to get stunnel to work with Agent 2.0 newsreader so that
I can use SSL from my news server. I have read the faq and gone thru alot of
previous posts concerning this and found this one entry suggestion for the
stunnel.config file in order to setup SSL to work with Agent which
unfortunately has no SSL capabilities at all.
It is suggested to use this entry to get both the newserver and client to
work thru using stunnel as a proxy server service basically.
c:\program files\stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:119 -r
unlimited.newshosting.com:563
I copied and pasted the entry changing the usenet server to the above, and
now I can no longer get stunnel to start at all. I am getting an error
message stating I need to check the logfile to determine what is causing the
error. The actual logfile error is as follows:
2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy
for the PRNG
2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: PRNG seeded successfully

As you can ascertain I am no linux expert at all so working with startup
scripts such as this is challenging to say the least.
Is the entry I pasted into the config file incorrect or not pointing to the
right path for the config file directory or what do you think is missing? I
am using Windows XP Pro and know that the actual file for the config resides
in windows/system32 folder. Any input on this would be very much appreciated
and thanks in advance all.
