[stunnel-users] [patch] Systemd socket activation support in daemon mode

Tue May 13 16:16:01 CEST 2014

Hi,

This patch allows stunnel to be started in daemon mode by systemd's socket
activation. This is superior to inetd mode, for all the reasons specified
in the stunnel howto. Since systemd is now the default in most of the major
Linux distros, it would be great to have this committed upstream.

Example systemd unit files:

### stunnel.socket

[Unit]
Description=Stunnel socket
After=network.target

[Socket]
ListenStream=9999

### stunnel.service

[Unit]
Description=Stunnel service
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

Thanks,
Mark Theunissen
