<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">I
have the task to install a secure syslog server using
syslog-ng and stunnel. <br>
The Syslog server is a Solaris 10 and Syslog clients are
HP-UX 11.31. <br>
<br>
I've spent already so many hours and I cannot make it run
properly. <br>
I know syslog-ng works well without stunnel. <br>
<br>
I'm pretty sure someone is already using it. I'd like to
have step by step installation process. I have no issue if I
have to start from scratch.

There are several HOWTOs available, e.g.:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Security/stunnel.htm">http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Security/stunnel.htm</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linux.com/community/blogs/133-general-linux/9486">https://www.linux.com/community/blogs/133-general-linux/9486</a><br>
although their approach is *not* the best one.<br>
<br>
The right solution is to setup inetd-mode stunnel configuration
files (without any [service sections]), e.g.:<br>
client=yes<br>
connect=www.server.com:12345<br>
cafile=server.pem<br>
verify=4<br>
on the client, and:<br>
accept=12345<br>
cert=server.pem<br>
key=server.key<br>
on the server.<br>
<br>
Stunnel should then be invoked with the "program()" driver of
syslog-ng:<br>
