This appears to be a different use case. In my case, stunnel is not
accepting the connection. tcpserver accepts the connection (or rejects
it) and then executes stunnel on the open socket. This stunnel process
never prints its own PID, only ever (for example) LOG6[ui].

My command line (simplified) is as follows:

tcpserver -HRvX -c 20 0 465 /usr/sbin/stunnel stunnel.conf

The stunnel.conf file is:

foreground = yes
pid =
cert = /path/to/private/cert
service = smtps
exec = /usr/bin/setuidgid
execargs = setuidgid qmaild ./sslrun
ciphers = DEFAULT:!LOW:!RC4:!DES:!3DES:!IDEA
syslog = no
options = NO_SSLv2
options = NO_SSLv3
options = NO_TLSv1
debug = info
TIMEOUTbusy = 15
TIMEOUTidle = 300
verify = 0

The logs show (for example):

tcpserver: pid 24622 from 174.2.75.223
tcpserver: ok 24622 untroubled.org:69.5.1.51:465 :174.2.75.223::39746

tcpserver: end 24622 status 0

This is all fine and good if there is a single connection, but when
there are multiple connections, and the stunnel logs are interleaved,
how am I to tell one Negotiated line from the other, or which connection
started which child process?
