That would be my guess but the last time I wanted static binaries was Redhat 2.1 on a DEC Alpha-based machine, sorry. -----Original Message----- From: stunnel-users-bounces(a)mirt.net [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hal Vaughan Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 1:25 PM To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Static Version Built?

Do you have static libraries in your SSL lib or just shared libraries? i.e. libssl.a (static) and libssl.so (dynamic) or just one or the other? Have you tested with ldd? For example, on my machine, I get this showing me I'm linking dynamically. ldd /usr/sbin/stunnel libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x40023000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x40027000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x4003b000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40050000) libssl.so.2 => /lib/libssl.so.2 (0x40053000) libcrypto.so.2 => /lib/libcrypto.so.2 (0x40080000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) Regards, KAM -----Original Message----- From: Hal Vaughan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 12:55 PM To: Kevin A.

Does it link to those libs or incorporate them into the binary (if I'm building static with the correct command line options)? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I've had no experience in C or C++.

Static Version Built?
by Hal Vaughan 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Okay, I think I have a static version of Stunnel now. Thanks to help and answers from Jan and Keven! I did this: ./configure --with-ssl=/usr --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-libwrap I'm not sure about the "--with-ssl" option, but it didn't seem to want to work without it. So I have a few questions: 1) How can I be sure it is static? 2) If it isn't static and I run it on a system that does not have all it needs, will it give me errors immediately, or only if a subroutine needs a library that isn't there. 3) Does the "--disable-libwrap" or anything else remove any features? 4) Does using the "--with-ssl" option make it use the libs on my system and make it non-static? 5) My "best guess" is that to install a static version, I just copy over the files src/stunnel and src/libstunnel.la to /usr/bin and /usr/lib, respectively. Is that right? (And, of course, copy man files to the right place.) Thanks -- I hope I'll be done with all these questions soon. Hal

Logging change in 4.15

I think it has to do with file_putline not being passed the output file name. Anyone else seeing this behavior? -- Chris

What is "lwrap"? (compiling problem)
by Hal Vaughan 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

I keep getting a message: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwrap when I try make. I had to use: ./configure --with-ssl=/usr and it worked, but I keep getting the above error message. I've Googled for it and it seems to reference an SSL library, but it looks like I've got them all installed (unless it needs Python SSL libraries). Thanks! Hal

SSL Libraries on Debian
by Hal Vaughan 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

I tried compiling Stunnel on Debian and get an error -- I need the ssl libraries. I tried ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl, which is where libssl-dev was installed, and it doesn't help. There is a libssl file in /usr/lib, but --with-ssl=/usr/lib/ssl doesn't seem to work either. What package on Debian provides the needed headers (according to aptitude, libssl-dev, the one I installed, does, but experience is telling me otherwise). (This, btw, is why I am trying to make static binaries -- you can never tell what to expect on Linux systems at this point. Often config/make doesn't work and there are many times when packages don't work out for one reason or another.) Thanks for any help on this. Hal

Static Binaries for Linux? (Didn't get answer previously)
by Hal Vaughan 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

I've brought this up before and didn't get ANY answer at all, and I'm sure someone involved with Stunnel would at least know if what I'm asking is possible. I know help is given on a volunteer basis, so if someone could help me figure this out, it would be a huge help. So far I've spent over a week on getting Stunnel or another program to do the job and if I can't get this to work, I need to just drop Stunnel and figure out how to do the same thing in Java. So thanks for any help. I may need to include Stunnel with my application so my clients behind restrictive firewalls can still enable me to work on their systems with RealVNC. I'm working with clients on both Windows and Linux. Is there a way to get static binaries for Linux? I don't know C or C++ or much more than running ./configure && make && make install. I'd like to know if it is possible or what is needed to create static binaries of the files so I could easily install stunnel on any Linux system by just copying over the proper files. Also, what archive format does the Windows installer use? I'd like to do something similar for Windows, so if I could pull the files out of the installer and copy them over myself, it would be a huge help. Thanks! Hal

"STACK_RESERVE is too high" after every connect
by Rob Munsch 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

Hello. I've recently gone on a self-inflicted crash course on openssl and seem to have gotten a centralized logging system going, logging to MySQL. I'm seeing everything i'd expect to see, but with an extra bit: what is STACK_RESERVE, and why is it too high? Some context, mildly sanitized: |Mar 9 18:33:34 isis stunnel: LOG5[24810:6]: syslog-ng connected from x.x.x.x:44032| |Mar 9 18:33:34 isis stunnel: LOG5[24810:6]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=US/ST=Pennsylvania/L=Philadelphia/O=Solutions for Progress/CN=blah.com/emailAddress=blah@blah| |Mar 9 18:33:34 isis stunnel: LOG5[24810:6]: VERIFY OK: depth=0, /C=US/ST=Pennsylvania/O=Solutions for Progress/OU=IT/CN=IT/emailAddress=blah@blah| |Mar 9 20:39:02 isis stunnel: LOG5[24810:6]: Connection closed: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 2891 bytes sent to socket| |Mar 9 20:39:02 isis stunnel: LOG3[24810:6]: STACK_RESERVE is too high| this is daemon.log on the server machine (isis). Messages from the remote host are going to MySQL successfully. But at the end of every apparently-successful transaction, there's this stack complaint. Can't find anything in the archives or via Google for "stunnel stack_reserve," which i found really odd, which is why i'm here... Version output: stunnel 4.14 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005 Thanks! -- Rob Munsch Solutions For Progress IT

RE: How to get tcpwrappers configured/compiled into stunnel 4.04 on Tru64 UNIX 5.1B
by John Lanier 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

Hello, I am a newbie to stunnel and tcpwrappers, so please bear with me: I am trying to compile tcpwrapper support into stunnel v4.04 on Tru64 UNIX v5.1B (apparently v4.14 does not compile on 5.1A or higher, per http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2006-January/000935.html) I am having what appears to be problems getting tcpwrapper support to compile with 4.04. I have consulted the following resources, but I am still having problems: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. http://www.stunnel.org/faq/troubleshooting.html#ToC9 "configure isn't finding my TCP Wrapper installation" Solution: You probably have it in a non-standard place, ie somewhere that gcc can't find it on it's own. Let's say you had your tcp wrappers installed in /opt/tcpd_7.6. To help gcc find your include files and libraries, you'd want to set three environment variables as follows: CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/opt/tcpd_7.6/include" CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/opt/tcpd_7.6/include" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/opt/tcpd_7.6/lib" export CFLAGS CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS And then re-run configure. This is the generic way to have configure find specific libraries, and is not specific to Stunnel itself. 2. http://www.stunnel.org/faq/run.html#ToC5 "Running stunnel with TCP wrappers" You do not need to use the tcpd binary to wrap stunnel (although you could). You can can compile in support for TCP wrappers when you compile stunnel itself. The configure program should be able to determine if the libwrap library (-lwrap) and headers are available in standard locations. ............. I have openssl 0.9.7h installed on ccpe01 v51b pk#5, with tcp-wrappers7.6. I did the configure, make and make install and things. All stages appeared successful, but then I attempted the ./configure --with-tcp-wrappers and it errored with -lwrap not found. checking for SSL directory... /usr/local/ssl checking for "/dev/urandom"... yes checking whether to disable RSA support... no checking whether to enable DH support... no checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no checking for pthread_create in -lc_r... no checking for openpty in -lutil... yes checking whether to use the libwrap (TCP wrappers) library... yes checking for hosts_access in -lwrap... not found <-- .............. So then I tried assigning the 3 environment variables and things got worse. The include and lib directories are referenced for tcpd 7.6, but after installing tcp wrappers I do not find include or lib directories for tcpd. Q: Should I expect NOT to see the include or lib directories as defined in #1 above, and, if so, will specifying the absolute path to the tcpwrapper images (EX: /var/tcp_wrappers/tcp_wrappers_7.6) suffice? 3. I followed these instructions when compiling/configuring tcpd v7.6 (downloaded from ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/pub/security/index.html) ............ 7.1 - Easy configuration and installation ----------------------------------------- The "easy" recipe requires no changes to existing software or configuration files. Basically, you move the daemons that you want to protect to a different directory and plug the resulting holes with copies of the wrapper programs. If you don't run Ultrix, you won't need the miscd wrapper program. The miscd daemon implements among others the SYSTAT service, which produces the same output as the WHO command. Type `make' and follow the instructions. The Makefile comes with ready-to-use templates for many common UNIX implementations (sun, ultrix, hp-ux, aix, irix,...). .............. Thanks in advance for any guidance and/or advice that you can offer. --John Lanier

Special Installs -- Static Binaries and Required Files
by Hal Vaughan 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

I may need to include Stunnel with my application so my clients behind restrictive firewalls can still enable me to work on their systems with RealVNC. I'm working with clients on both Windows and Linux. Windows: I know the installer has the files included in it in an archive, but what archive format is it, or what kind or archive program on Linux can I use to read it? Is installing Stunnel on Windows just a matter of copying the files, or are there settings I have to change in the registry? Linux: Is there any way to get static binaries (yes, I know they're bigger) so I can just copy over files to install it as a program (not as a service -- I noticed Debian set it up as a service)? Thanks! Hal

Stunnel Won't Start on Linux (even with fixed /etc/default/stunnel)
by Hal Vaughan 08 Mar '06

08 Mar '06

I'm trying to start stunnel4 on Linux. I've modified the /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf file so I can use it with RealVNC. When I run "stunnel4 /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf" or "/etc/init.d/stunnel4 start", neither command gives me errors or any output, even with -d 7 set. After the shell returns control to me, I do "ps -ax" and have yet to see any instance of stunnel running. There is never a file in /var/run/stunnel to indicate a working daemon if I start it as one. I have edited /etc/default/stunnel4 to look like this (changed ENABLED). I've included it and my /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf below. No matter what I do, there is never any evidence that stunnel is staring or doing anything. Even error messages would be a big help, so I'd at least know what was wrong. Any help appreciated. I'm sure it's something so obvious I don't see how I could miss it. Thanks for any help.

This sounds like exactly what stunnel does. You want to have host A talk to Server A via SSL so you run stunneld on it. Then it will redirect that connection to server B via non-SSL. What protocol are we talking about here? Let's assume it's https: On Server A, setup stunnel with a conf file with these lines (as well as many others surely) [https] accept = 443 connect = serverb.smartbox.ca:80 Then your host connects to server a, negotiates SSL and the information is sent to the other server. I think your biggest issue is going to be the certificate on Server A so that the Host connects to the Server without certificate issues. Sincerely, Kevin A.

configure problem in 4.14
by MeeAGhost 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

Whether --enable-dh is defined or not the stunnel created certificates created during make-install will include DH support. This is because the USE_DH variable in tools/Makefile is undefined which in turn causes the test portion of the install-data-local section of the tools/Makefile below to fail test $(USE_DH) -eq 0 || $(openssl) gendh $$RND 512 >> stunnel.pem; \ $(openssl) x509 -subject -dates -fingerprint -noout -in stunnel.pem; \ ${INSTALL} -m 600 stunnel.pem $(DESTDIR)$(confdir)/stunnel.pem; \ rm stunnel.pem; \ The test fails with this error message "/bin/bash: test: -eq: unary operator expected" since USE_DH is empty (undefined). I looked at the dh section of the configure script and it appears USE_DH is being set to 1 when --enable-dh is defined. However, USE_DH=1 is only in the DEFS section of tools/Makefile and not actually setting the value of USE_DH variable. I read in the change notes (from several years ago) that dh was disabled by default. I have been running stunnel for the past 3-4 years but have since I initially installed it back then I have been upgrading and therefore the above section of the tools\Makefile was skipped since I already had certificates defined. I went to install on a new box today and found the above 'problem'. So I am not sure how long this has been like this. Before I tried to figure out what is "wrong" I wanted to see if others have noticed this. I have seen this on Solaris 9 and in the cygwin 1.5.19.

Zombie problem with stunnel-4.11
by Ole Husgaard 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

Hi, I am trying to set up stunnel to be invoked from xinetd.d to secure pop3 access, and I'm having problems with zombie processes. It looks like stunnel does not clean up after the pop3 session: 31679 ? Ss 0:00 xinetd -stayalive -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid 32049 ? Ss 0:00 \_ stunnel /etc/pop3s/stunnel.cnf 32050 ? Z 0:00 \_ [ipop3d] <defunct> The contents of my stunnel.cnf file is: CAfile = /var/www/html/ca-cert.crt CRLfile = /var/www/html/ca-crl.crl cert = /etc/pop3s/pop3s.cert key = /etc/pop3s/pop3s.key verify = 2 exec = /usr/sbin/ipop3d execargs = ipop3d I use a non-standard port 997 for the service, so I have the line pop3s-eXerp 997/tcp in my /etc/services file. The xinetd configuration file for the service is: service pop3s-eXerp { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel server_args = /etc/pop3s/stunnel.cnf log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID } I have searched the net, but have not seen anybody else who have had this problem. Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this problem, or what I can do to work around it? Best Regards, Ole Husgaard.

Client setup
by Ting 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Hello all, Wonder if anybody could advise. I have a client tn3270 application running on Solaris 2.8. Currently, it is using clear text to communicate with tn3270 server. Now, I need to run tn3270 with SSL. If I install stunnel in the Solaris 2.8 box to act as a wrapper. 1. Do I run the stunnel as a client only ? Is the command: stunnel -c -d <port1> -r <tn3270server>:<port2> a. Is port1 the original port where client tn3270 application sends to server ? b. Is port2 the same as port1 ? c. Alternatively, am I supposed to change the client tn3270 application to direct the data to a new port X, then port1 = X, while port2 is the port where the server is listening on. Thank you in advance. Warm Regards, TW --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Movies - Search movie info and celeb profiles and photos.

Choosing local 'source' IP?
by Don Werve 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Ok, so here's the problem: I've got stunnel handling SSL for a web-based service that is otherwise too stupid to be able to talk https. Unfortunately, I need to set up a redirection rule inside this service that bounces people back to the https:// page if they try to come in over http. Since said service isn't managing its own SSL, I have no solid way of determining which connections are wrappered by stunnel and which connections come in over the wire, and if I bounce stunnel connections, I end up in an infinite loop. Fortunately, all stunnel connections give a REMOTE_IP of the second ethernet adapter of the host system, which is good. My question is, how do I configure stunnel to 'force' this behavior? E.g., I want to explicitly specify in stunnel.conf 'Connect to the service for which you are acting as a wrapper from *this* IP/interface'. I've tried the 'local = ' option and setting socket flags for 'l' and 'r', and while they don't break anything, I can't use them to force a connection from any other adapter, so I don't think they are doing what I need. This wouldn't be an issue, either, except I don't know how stunnel determines this, and I don't want to (at some point in the future) have things 'magically change' (read: break horribly).

Encrypting traffic to a remote syslog-ng server including SSL peer authentication 1. Install stunnel and syslog-ng on all machines. 2. Create certificates for all machines. On RedHat 9 and similar machines, you can do the following as root: # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make syslog-ng-server.pem # make syslog-ng-client.pem 3. Place copies of syslog-ng-server.pem on all machines in /etc/stunnel with one important alteration. The clients only need the certificate section of syslog-ng-server.pem. In other words, remove the private key section from syslog-ng-server.pem on all clients. Place every client's syslog-ng-client.pem in /etc/stunnel. For server, create a special syslog-ng-client.pem containing the certificate sections for all clients and place in /etc/stunnel. In other words, remove the private key sections from all syslog-ng-client.pem files and concatenate what is left to create server's special syslog-ng-client.pem. Ok my question is from above it says to create one syslog-ng-client.pem file per client. 1)Do the names for each of these need to remain syslog-ng-client.pem or can they have names that reflect the host that they are on? 2) if they all need to keep that name do just move the client file to one client/host and then delete it from the server then move on to create the next?

stunnel and syslog
by Bart Somers 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hi to all, We recently ran in to a problem using stunnel on our AIX 5.2 machines. This is our situation: we are running stunnel as a client to protect http (and a proprietary protocol) traffic between our company and a customer. We are using client-athentication to grant access to the server and on our client-side we validate the server-certificates. This all works fine. Due to new security-restrictions, we are moving all our private-key material into HSM-boxes, in our case these are nCipher nShield HSM's. According to the documantion on there website ( http://active.ncipher.com ) we builded openssl nCipher-enabled. Based on this openssl-version, we builded stunnel. All the build-options are shown below in this message. The compiler used is the IBM C compiler. According to the manuals from stunnel we needed to put in an extra line to the config-file which shows "engine = chil" (chil is the Cryptographic Hardware Interface Library, the way the nCipher HSM's are known to openssl) After all this, we created key's in the hsm, using the nCipher tools and loaded them into stunnel (using this method you get a "pseudo-pem-file", which is actually a reference to the hardware-key). Fire-up stunnel using the commands from nCipher to preload the key's and we are all good to go! When this all seems to work very stable after a few months, with thousands of connections and ditto megabytes transfered, we wanted to have all the logging to our syslogserver (it runs syslog-ng) and this is the place where my problem hits in: When commenting-out the option "output = /home/bart/stl/var/stunnel.log" and restarting stunnel, stunnel dies after the first or second connection, leaving no logging, corefiles or whatever behind. Using plain key's (so no HSM, but with the same build which is aware of the HSM), syslog is no problem. Using HSM-key's with plaintext logfiles (no syslog) works also excellent. As i don't have any ideas anymore where to search, i want to ask you if somebody ever have seen this behaviour or knows where it could be caused by. (And maybe how to solve it....) Thanks in advance!

transparent mode in linux
by Jesse Small 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hello, I am having trouble with the 'transparent = yes' option in my configuration file. Basically the goal is to see the IP address of the client connecting to our server, but I am getting this error in the log file: bind transparent: Cannot assign requested address (99) Failed to initialize remote connection After searching through the stunnel archives, I saw that this option (-T back then) was supported only up to the Linux 2.2 kernel, but didn't work on the 2.4 kernel. All the messages I read through were a few years old. I am using Fedora Core 4 with a 2.6 kernel, and wanted to see if there were any updates and if it was now possible to see the client's IP address. Otherwise all incoming connections appear as if from localhost. We are using stunnel v4.14. Thanks for your help, Jesse

stunnel closing connections with RST ?
by sergei 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

I'm setting up load-balanced service requiring stunnel with SSL on its front end. There are two hosts behind load balancer running stunnel . Service behind stunnel does not speak SSL. Every few minutes load balancer checks if those stunnels are still alive by opening tcp connection to stunnel listening port. Now problem is that stunnel closes those test connections with RST and load balancer takes it as that host is dead. This is without "client = yes" option because service does not speak SSL load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=1234 S=33007 Syn stunnel-host -> load-balancer TCP D=33007 S=1234 Syn Ack load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=1234 S=33007 Ack load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=1234 S=33007 Fin Ack stunnel-host -> load-balancer TCP D=33007 S=1234 Ack stunnel-host -> load-balancer TCP D=33007 S=1234 Rst On the other hand with client=yes everything works fine load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=123 S=33010 Syn stunnel-host -> load-balancer TCP D=33010 S=123 Syn Ack load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=123 S=33010 Ack load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=123 S=33010 Fin Ack stunnel-host -> load-balancer TCP D=33010 S=123 Fin Ack load-balancer -> stunnel-host TCP D=123 S=33010 Ack Is there any way to make stunnel without "client = yes" close connection "normal way" with FIN instead of RST ? stunnel is last version, load balancer is some older F5 BigIP thanks sergei

certificate root chain
by Olivier twist 09 Feb '06

09 Feb '06

Hello, I've already sent a message for my problem but no answer. I have a server certificate signed by GlobalSign. I don't want to use client certificate. But if I don't put the certification chain on the CAFILE of stunnel and don't set verify at 1, stunnel doesn't check the server certification chain and the server certificate appears broken on client side !!! I've post this problem on the stunnel mailing list but you tell me that if I don't use client certificate I don't have to set verify at 1. But it doesn't work, and why GlobalSign and others explain how to install server certificatation chain on servers like apache mod ssl?(see http://support.globalsign.net/en/serversign/apachemodssl.cfm) when I read this help file I suppose that the ssl protocol on server side makes a check of server certificate, and that's the reason why the certificate chain appears broken or not on client side. My current ugly solution is to set verify at 1, in this case, on client side, the certificate appears good and not broken but... a dialog box appears and ask for client certificate and some plugin like flash doesn't support that. i use stunnel 4.14 stunnel.conf: cert = c:\certif\inTest.crt key = c:\certif\inTest.key socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 verify = 1 CAfile = c:\certif\ca.pem ;client = yes [https] accept = 443 connect = 127.0.0.1:901 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [rtmps] accept = 80 connect = 127.0.0.1:900 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Could anybody gives me a support? Thx Oliver

The CAfile would be needed for client verification only.

Stunnel resets connections for a reason. Probably it was reset by the other peer. Check your stunnel log files for details.

Stunnel with ntsyslog on windows 2000 forwarding to syslog-ng on fedora core 4 with stunnel in the middle.
by Anthony Cicalla 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Website questions answered first 1) ntsyslog(on windows 2000 pro) is not connecting through stunnel to (fedora core 4) syslog-ng daemon. 2) latest version of stunnel just downloaded it. 3)stunnel syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf 4)ran the command but got no output.

I downloaded the packages for openssl and ran the updater. I am setting up centralized logging with stunnel, syslog-ng, ntsyslog. Following the directions from these two links. <http://www.stunnel.org/examples/syslog-ng.html> <http://www.monitorware.com/Common/en/Articles/eventlog-stunnel-syslog.php> Encrypting traffic to a remote syslog-ng server including SSL peer authentication 1. Install stunnel and syslog-ng on all machines. 2. Create certificates for all machines. On RedHat 9 and similar machines, you can do the following as root: # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make syslog-ng-server.pem # make syslog-ng-client.pem 3. Place copies of syslog-ng-server.pem on all machines in /etc/stunnel with one important alteration. The clients only need the certificate section of syslog-ng-server.pem. In other words, remove the private key section from syslog-ng-server.pem on all clients. Place every client's syslog-ng-client.pem in /etc/stunnel. For server, create a special syslog-ng-client.pem containing the certificate sections for all clients and place in /etc/stunnel. In other words, remove the private key sections from all syslog-ng-client.pem files and concatenate what is left to create server's special syslog-ng-client.pem. 4. Give only root ownership, read and write permissions for certificates. 5. On server, create /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf containing the following replacing server IP address accordingly: cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 192.x.x.x:5140 connect = 127.0.0.1:514 On clients, create /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf containing the following replacing server IP address accordingly: client = yes cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 192.x.x.x:5140 6. On server, create the following in /etc/syslog-ng.conf: options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(no); }; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; source stunnel {tcp(ip("127.0.0.1") port(514) max-connections(1));}; destination remoteclient {file("/var/log/remoteclient");}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; log {source(src); destination(dest);}; log {source(stunnel); destination(remoteclient);}; On clients, create the following in /etc/syslog-ng.conf: options {long_hostnames(off); sync(0);}; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; destination stunnel {tcp("127.0.0.1" port(514));}; log {source(src);destination(dest);}; log {source(src);destination(stunnel);}; (See syslog-ng documentation for more sophisticated syslog-ng.conf alternatives.) 7. Open necessary ports with regards to packet filtering and TCP wrappers. 8. On all machines, add the following lines to boot procedure and execute them now: # stunnel # syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf That was the unix side stunnel config. Copy the files to a location of your choice. If in doubt what you need, download the latest stunnel binary as well as the ZIP file with the openssl libararies. Place everything in the same directory, e.g. c:\bin\stunnel. Please note that the stunnel binary (eg. stunnel-4.04.exe) is the actual stunnel program and NOT a self-extracting exe program. Once you have done this, you only need to supply stunnel with a correct configuration file. You can use the one from the stunnel UNIX/Linux tutorial, step 5. Make sure that you not only copy over the config file but also the needed .PEM files. You probably need to change the pathes in the stunnel.conf file to reflect your local Windows directory structure. Once you have the config file ready, you can start the Windows stunnel. Please note that it by default starts interactively. If all goes well, there is a small icon in the icon tray. Double-Click it to get a status window. If something goes wrong, the status window automatically appears with a nice error message. AT THIS POINT I AM ABLE TO START STUNNEL WITH NO ERRORS SHOW UP BUT 0 ACTIVE TUNNELS. Let's assume all went well. What is left is that we must tell the event log monitor where to forward events to. Installation: Install the service by executing the following command: NTsyslog -install The service will be started automatically by the service control manager during system startup. You can start and stop the service manually from the Services Control Panel. By default the service runs under the LocalSystem account. The service can be configured to run as a local user with the following rights: * Log on as a service * Manage auditing and security log The user the service runs as can be configured in the NTsyslog Properties page which can be accessed through the Services Control Panel. A GUI tool, NTSyslogCtrl is provided to configure what types of messages are monitored and what priority to use for each type. The priority for each event log type controls the service and facility that the syslog message is sent to. Each log type has a seperate priority. If the priority for a particular key does not exist, as if you were upgrading, or using an old NTSyslogCtrl app, the default is 9, user.alert. Usually, syslog refers to a "facility" and "severity". These are combined in to a single value called "priority". To calculate the priorities from normal facility and severity codes: Take the numeric value for the facility, multiply by 8, and add the numeric value for the severity. Standard facility and severity values are: Facility: (0) kernel (12) ntp (1) user (13) log audit (2) mail (14) log alert (3) system (15) clock 2 (4) security/auth 1 (16) local 0 (5) syslog (17) local 1 (6) line printer (18) local 2 (7) news (19) local 3 (8) uucp (20) local 4 (9) clock 1 (21) local 5 (10) security/auth 2 (22) local 6 (11) ftp (23) local 7 Severity: (0) emergency (4) warning (1) alert (5) notice (2) critical (6) information (3) error (7) debug Note that facility 4, 9, 10, and 15 have different meaning on various systems. Please consult your system manual pages or syslogd documentation. Complete details are available in RFC 3164. See: <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt> The NTSyslog service must be stopped and restarted for the Registry settings to take effect. By default all messages are sent using the user.alert priority. Registry Settings: The NTSyslogCtrl program is the preferred method of configuring the registry. Editing the registry manually is not required when using the configuration tool. The syslog host is configured by creating the following Registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet] "Syslog"="192.X.X.X" An additional syslog host may be configured for redundancy: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet] "Syslog1"="" The syslog host can be specified by domain name (loghost.example.com) or by IP address (10.123.112.1). The types of event log messages sent to the syslog host can be configured by setting the dword value for each of the types of messages. All types with a non-zero value will be processed. The included registry file enables all event types for each event log: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\System] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Security] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Application] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 Version 1.11 and later supports user defined event logs. Simply add the appropriate sub-key and settings to the registry in the same format as the three standard event logs: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Directory Service] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 ok after all of this configuration and setup I get no syslogs in on the logging server. I did and ethereal capture and tested a few settings. If I point it directly to the syslog ip address it's still not connecting becuase it's trying to connect on port 514. The syslog server is running on port 5140 from the config. I can telnet to port 5140 with no problems. I can start the nt syslog service with the server's ip and see packets attempting to be sent this tells me that ntsyslog is working. When I go to examine stunnel I get 2006.02.02 10:18:06 LOG5[484:108]: stunnel 4.14 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+SELECT+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 2006.02.02 10:18:07 LOG5[484:652]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2006.02.02 11:38:18 LOG5[484:640]: 5140 connected from 127.0.0.1:1386 2006.02.02 11:38:27 LOG3[484:640]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol And that is where I am stuck... any help would be greatly appreciated. I check this regularly so I will reply or attempt suggestions pretty quickly and reply the results. I am still pretty new with linux so if you want me to do something or to get you some information put the commands or step of how to do it in the post. It will not only help me but it will help others behind me that might not know as much as well. I followed the instructions above which has the commands. I created the pem files and the conf files just as above althought there is not /etc/syslog-ng.conf on the windows machine. I still made the files but they are put in c:\bin\stunnel becuase syslog-ng doesn't run on windows. they reccommended snare of something of the like to forward the logs so I chose ntsyslog. Ntsyslog is setup exactly like the instructions say. like I said above stunnel starts without an error when I start the ntsyslog the error appears in the stunnel log. Client Stunnel.conf cert = C:\bin\stunnel\syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = c:\bin\stunnel\syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 192.168.x.x:5140 Client Server stunnel.conf cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 192.168.x.x:5140 connect = 127.0.0.1:514 syslog-ng.conf options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(no); }; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; source stunnel {tcp(ip("127.0.0.1") port(514) max-connections(1));}; destination remoteclient {file("/var/log/remoteclient");}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; log {source(src); destination(dest);}; log {source(stunnel); destination(remoteclient);}; When you run the gui for ntsyslog it creates the registry entries so i did no have to create them. Client is on windows the server is the fedora core 4 box

tunpipe
by Michal Trojnara 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Dear Users, For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel. The early alpha version is ready for download here: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/ Advantages: - based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol), - very clean and lightweight design, - very easy to configure. Disadvantages: - only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes), - use of TCP is the main performance limitation. Aternative solutions: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/vpn.html Suggestions and comments are welcome. Best regards, Mike

Encrypted tunnel for HTTP traffic?
by Robert Nicholson 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Can anybody tell me if it's possible for stunnel to act as a local web proxy that simply encrypts my outgoing HTTP traffic and decrypts it on the way back in? Specifically is it still possible to block urls at the hosting provider with this approach and is all my browsing then safe from prying eyes? What I want is along the lines of a VPN solution but it sounds like stunnel can at least take care of my HTTP needs.

Stunnel Question /Feature request
by Mathias . 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Hi everybody. Is it possible at the Client side specify where the Stunnel server should connect to? I mean. If I'm using stunnel both on the clisnt side and the Server side is it possible from within the Stunnel.conf file specify a destination at serverside that overides the "connect=" tag specified in the stunnel.conf file at the server side. This would make it possible to have two services accessible at the same port. I.e IIS using https (accessible from any browser) and a nother SSL, non-web, based service (accessible from a Stunnel client). Anyone that ever have thought about creating such a patch? /M

stunnel 4.x.x and IRIX
by Eric Haddix 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I happened upon a user here that posted a couple of months ago(I think) who used IRIX and had successfully compiled stunnel. Any chance you're still around!?!? I get one of two things. Before I apply the patch, it will crash right after startup. No logs, just dumps core. After the patch, it starts and exits immediately. I can run it with -version, etc. and it seems to work fine. Anyone had this and/or know what can be done? Eric

FQDN validation and checking within STunnel
by Nagasundaram, Sekhar 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

All: Is there a setting in Stunnel to do FQDN checking? Level 3 checking requires a local copy of the Peer's certificate. When doing mutual authentication, I run into scalability issues when the devices Run into the thousands using Level3 validation. However, if Stunel was capable of doing FQDN checks, That would help while not requiring me to do level 3 checks (although that is probably better). Thanks Sekhar

Hello to all, I have been using Stunnel to access News Groups at ATT.net to by-pass or tunnel through ATT's SSL for some time. I have run into trouble and I am getting a message "connection" failed. At first I thought that it was Stunnel and after deleting and re-installing Stunnel, I an getting the same RESULT. Was there an older version of Stunnel that worked and will the new, updated Stunnel not work or does it need to have some settings changed? Malcolm Mason MWM1(a)jhu.edu

Proxy Support and 4.15b2
by Ben Green 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Greetings everyone, I have been working for a few days with Stunnel and have been trying to get it working with the proxy servers that filter all outbound traffic at work. I stumbled across 4.15b2 today and was able to get it all to work well to SSL enable telnet and fix through the connect protocol. I plan to use this in production if all goes well in dev, test, and qa over the next 2 months. I was not around on the list when the announcement went out for 4.15b2 on November 16th (found it in the archives). I'll get to my point, now. I am wondering how testing is going with 4.15b2. Is it going to be released as 4.15, soon? Has anyone put 4.15b2 in a production situation? Thanks. Ben Green

Re: [stunnel-users] exclusively TLS

I've been working through the same problem as John, but I tried using Jan's solution by setting the options and still haven't been able to get it to work. On server1 I am running openssl s_server with tls-only specified: openssl s_server -accept 8443 -cert XDS_REG_HXTI.cer -key hxti1.key -tls1 On the client side (server2), I have stunnel set up as a client listening on localhost port 8100, and forwarding over to server1, port 8443. Then to test I run 'telnet localhost 8100' and see the error message from s_server: ACCEPT ERROR 16656:error:1408A10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:wrong version number:s3_srvr.c:683: shutting down SSL CONNECTION CLOSED In my stunnel.log file I can see this error message: SSL_connect: 14094410: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure So to me it still seems to be sending out a client hello in sslv3, despite my efforts to the contrary.

Ah, that way. options = SSL_options OpenSSL library options The parameter is the OpenSSL option name as described in the SSL_CTX_set_options(3ssl) manual, but without SSL_OP_ prefix. Several options can be used to specify multiple options. For example for compatibility with erroneous Eudora SSL implementation the following option can be used: options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS Check the SSL_CTX_set_options manpage, it says -amongst other things-: SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 Do not use the SSLv2 protocol. SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3 Do not use the SSLv3 protocol. SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1 Do not use the TLSv1 protocol. That ought to do the trick I'd say.

https to http proxy is buggy with IE
by Glen 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi Everyone, I am trying to use stunnel to do the ssl portion for the web server. Mainly because the certificate I have is easy to setup in stunnel (was originally created for an openssl based serer) and the web server supports it's own propriatery cert format which I would like to avoid having to convert to. I have it working fine with all browsers except for the buggy Internet Explorer. With internet explorer anything requiring a page redirect fails (from viewing the logs it appears the socket gets closed before the redirect is finished resulting in a blank page being sent to the browser. I have tried the TIMEOUTclose = 0 but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions? thanks, Glen

stunnel 4.14 errors and dropped connection
by stunnelusers＠tinfoil.cotse.net 21 Jan '06

21 Jan '06

Hello, If I leave my computer downloading via stunnel and come back to it later, I find the download has stopped halfway and in the stunnel log it says: SSL_read: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (10054) and then a number of lines like: Error resolving 'xxx.xxx.xxx': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME) where xxx.xxx.xxx is the url I was downloading from. I am using stunnel 4.14 on win xp. If I try to load a web page like google I get told it cannot be found. I have to switch off the router and switch it back on. When Windows finds the "new" connection it resets itself and everything works perfectly again, for a while, and then it happens all over again. This did not happen before I upgraded to 4.14. What is happening? Why is it happening? How do i stop it? Thanks.

My problem is that when stunnel connects to the server it is trying sslv3, and this causes an error as the server is only supporting TLS. I could easily be wrong...

exclusively TLS

I need to talk to a server that is requiring pure TLS. It seems that STUNNEL always starts with SSL. How do I get STUNNEL to start the client side conversation with TLS?

Stunnel in a three tier setup
by Louis Young 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Hi Guys I would like to set up stunnel in a three tier environment, i.e. instead of just having a client and a server, I have a client, midware and server. I tried doing this: On the client: [VNC on TestMachine] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.12:9000 192.168.100.12 is the "mid-ware" machine: On this "mid-ware" machine: [VNC on TestMachine] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.16:9000 192.168.100.16 is the destination: Then on the destination: [VNC] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.16:5900 The only machine with client=yes is the client and they all use the same key. If I change the settings on the client to point directly to the destination (i.e. using only two machines), it works, but with three machines there seems to be a problem Any ideas?

verify server certification is missing
by Olivier twist 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I think a functionnality is missing in stunnel. I compare the behaviour of stunnel and apache mod-ssl. If you have a certificate signed by third party, apache checks the root certificate like stunnel do this with -v 1 option but apache don't ask for a client certificate, stunnel do this :-( I think that stunnel should control server certificate chain defined in CA file even if option -v 1 is not set !!! Could you give your opinion? If I use stunnel and not apache it's because I have some protocols to handle with ssl and stunnel is a very easy to use solution. Thanks Oliver

Delay option
by Stefaan Van Dooren 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, I'm setting up stunnel and I'm facing a problem with dynamic IP-adresses. Searching google and the man pages I tought that the "delay = yes" option would solve my problem, but it doesn't seems to. If I had "delay = yes" to my config file, none of my services seems to work anymore. If I remove it, everything is working fine, until the the remote-IP changes, and I have to restart stunnel. What am I doing wrong ? Or isn't this the right option for this job ?

Some newbie question for stunnel
by Thomas Stein 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hello, After reading some doc pages about stunnel I have still some questions: 1.) I read that the client part of a pop3 connection (e.g. for GoogleMail) is like stunnel -c -d pop3 -r bar:pop3s However I did not found any explations of the flags -d, -d and -r When I type stunnel -help none of these flags are explained. 2.) Can I replace pop3 and pop3s in the command above by real port numbers? 3.) Is stunnel compatible with SSH servers ? In other words: can stunnel on the local machine communicate with a SSH server on the remote computer and vice versa? 4.) Is there a timeout function? Read: When I start stunnel I would like to exit the service after lets say 5 minutes automatically. Is there such a feature/option? 5.) Has someone experiences with googlemail pop3 retrieval of emails? Is the following stunnel command recommendable for googlemail.com? stunnel -c -d pop3 -r pop.googlemail.com:pop3 Thank you in advance for the answer Thomas -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/

Sniffing the network --how to disable SSL?
by david-e.hansen＠ubs.com 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi, I know this sort of defeats the whole purpose of stunnel, but I have an LDAP server which listens for non-SSL on one port, and SSL on another. We decided to use stunnel and the SSL port on our LDAP server for security purposes. However, now we need to see the communication between clients and the LDAP server, in order to debug a production problem. Sniffing won't be terribly useful unless we can turn off the SSL encryption of the communication. I can't just re-point the application to the non-SSL port because this is stored in a central database and would affect everyone (it's a 3rd pty app), so I just want to change the stunnel.conf file on my PC so that it does port-forwarding but no encryption. Is this possible to do? Regards, David E.

Connection reset by peer on same local network?
by Gabe Martin-Dempesy 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

I'm attempting to setup an encrypted rsync to pull backups off of a file server onto a safe backup machine. To do this I'm using a combination of stunnel and rsyncd (It needs to pull root-owned files, so -e ssh wouldn't work unless I want to have a backup script remotely logging in as root!!) For now the machines are both on the same local network, 10.10.10.0/24, but I'm have weird problems with stunnel getting a 'connection reset by peer' after a couple minutes of the rsync, halting the transfer prematurely. Here's what I see in the logs: Client: Dec 29 10:19:21 backup stunnel[2568]: 8001 connected from 127.0.0.1:39215 Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: SSL_write: Connection reset by peer (104) Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: Connection reset: 192532 bytes sent to SSL, 5920666 bytes sent to socket Server: Dec 29 10:20:00 proto stunnel[30434]: 973 connected from 10.10.10.20:54054 Dec 29 10:20:00 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync on xserve from localhost (127.0.0.1) Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: SSL socket closed with 16384 byte(s) in buffer Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: Connection reset: 5953434 bytes sent to SSL, 98416 bytes sent to socket Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "unknown": Connection reset by peer Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(666) Note that the client gets the 'connection reset by peer' a good 40 seconds before the server notices the disconnect.

RE: [stunnel-users] Connection reset by peer on same local networ k?
by Jeremy Simons 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

The problem is not with stunnel, but with rsyncd. I assume you are running rsyncd on the source machine in conjunction with the /etc/rsyncd.conf file. The cool thing about running rsyncd through stunnel is the rsync client appears to the rsyncd as a local machine (obviously) so permissions are a problem. The best way I could recommend since you need to access root owned files would be to setup your rsyncd entry something like: ## Example of full access to /home directory [home] uid = root gid = root path = /home comment = home directory. hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 read only = no ignore nonreadable = no refuse options = checksum dont compress = * If you notice the "hosts allow" directive only allows access from localhost(127.0.0.1). The problem is *anyone* can connect to your stunnel server unless you require security I would recommend using your firewall to allow access to your stunnel instance and also to use non-standard ports (I.E. 50000-50010). Using a firewall in lieu of authentication is obviously NOT secure or even recommended for a production environment but is simply added security that certainly doesn't hurt. The workaround would be to secure stunnel and leave rsyncd wide-open to localhost. As for the "connection reset" errors I was getting the same thing until I upgraded to the latest version of stunnel. I read a post on stunnel.mirt.net about it. Are you sure you're using the latest version of stunnel?

Here's what I see in the logs: Client: Dec 29 10:19:21 backup stunnel[2568]: 8001 connected from 127.0.0.1:39215 Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: SSL_write: Connection reset by peer (104) Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: Connection reset: 192532 bytes sent to SSL, 5920666 bytes sent to socket Server: Dec 29 10:20:00 proto stunnel[30434]: 973 connected from 10.10.10.20:54054 Dec 29 10:20:00 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync on xserve from localhost (127.0.0.1) Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: SSL socket closed with 16384 byte(s) in buffer Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: Connection reset: 5953434 bytes sent to SSL, 98416 bytes sent to socket Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "unknown": Connection reset by peer Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(666) Note that the client gets the 'connection reset by peer' a good 40 seconds before the server notices the disconnect. Here are the associated stunnel.conf's, which are pretty basic Client: cert = /etc/stunnel/backup.crt key = /etc/stunnel/backup.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [8001] accept = 8001 connect = 10.10.10.15:973 Server: cert = /etc/stunnel/proto.crt key = /etc/stunnel/proto.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [973] accept = 973 connect = 127.0.0.1:rsync Both are using: stunnel 4.09 on i686-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv6+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/lib/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Both of these machines are Gentoo 2005.1, updated to current, using the hardened 2.6 profile. Neither of them use non-standard make flags. Does anyone have some insight? There shouldn't be any "peer" (besides themselves) in the way between these two boxes to disconnect them. _______________________________________________ stunnel-users mailing list stunnel-users(a)mirt.net http://stunnel.mirt.net/mailman/listinfo/stunnel-users

stunnel library inconsistencies
by Brian T 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Hi, I've been using stunnel 4.08 on an embedded Linux platform for a while now, and am attempting to move to the 2.6 kernel from the 2.4.20, which has changed my building platform. I am cross-compiling with libs and tools targeted for the embedded system, which is an i486 type AMD Elan chip. I have tried 4.08, 4.14 and 4.15b, all with the same result. Everything looks to compile properly, but when running stunnel I get the following: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-minimal.c: 134: realloc: Assertion `ptr == alloc_last_block' failed! strace doesn't supply any helpful information. I have tried building with and without tcpwrappers, and have tried libssl 0.9.7g and 0.9.7i. Libssl v0.9.8a doesn't seem to play very nice. Anyone able to look at my config.log? It's 140k uncompressed, but will zip it up if needed. Thanks, -Brian

./configure issues
by Campbell Vertesi 29 Dec '05

I'm running a fresh install of Solaris 10-sparc, and am having a helluvatime getting stunnel to configure. I come from a Gentoo background, where compiling apps is second nature, and I'm not used to this kind of problem! I originally installed gcc3.3.2 using the sunfreeware package, and as an afterthought went back again using pkg-get to make sure I had all the dependencies I needed. When I run ./configure, it errors out: # ./configure configure: **************************************** initialization checking for a BSD-compatible install... /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

stunnel connect success even if remote side do not exist
by Nadav, Erez 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

i have a question: I conbfigure the stunnel to work as tcp wrapper. I configure stunnel for accept on 2003 and connect to 10.1.1.1:2003 (not exist address). I see that any TCP connect to 2003 always succeed. I expect that the TCP connect will fail if the remote side connection failed. Is there a way to make it happen Nadav Erez R&D Verint Systems Inc Phone: +972+9-9624753 Cellular: +972-54-7784753 Email: Erez.Nadav(a)verint.com Web: www.verint.com <http://www.verint.com/> __________________________________________________________________________________________ This electronic message contains information from Verint Systems, which may be privileged and confidential.

(Other) client to stunnel server 4.14
by Jurgen Tessers 24 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm in a situation where Biztalk has to communicatie through Stunnel with a broker on a other site (both on Win XP). Now the only way to reach this broker is through a proxy, and that seems the problem with Stunnel, you can't configure a proxy. Is there another way, or another client that have the possibility to configure a proxy and can connect to a Stunnel server. With regards, Jurgen

Can not estabilish stunnel
by McDouglas 13 Dec '05

Hi, I have difficulties setting up a tunnel between two linux box I administrate. Right now its only in test phase, i would like to make an stunnel connection to the smpt server at 195.56.52.140. My final goal is to set up syslog through stunnel, thats why the port name/numbers. Config file for the server: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log [ssyslog] accept = 195.56.52.140:2514 connect = 10.10.2.1:25 Config file for the client: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log client = yes [ssyslog] accept = 2514 connect = 195.56.52.140:2514 I get the following messages in the logs after, executing a "telnet 127.0.0.1 2514" command at the client machine (of course, smtp works on the other side, and i set iptables to allow incomming connections on 2514 dport) Server: 2005.12.13 09:09:22 LOG5[11505:1]: stunnel 4.14 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 2005.12.13 09:09:22

stunnel closing on first packet
by justin alexander 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I have a client application on a windows machine, which tunnels through stunnel v4.14 to launch and inetd through stunnel v4.09 on a Linux box. The Linux side INETD successfully sends a packet of 25B to the client. The client (windows) receives this packet and returns a 12B packet. The packet IS received by the INETD but then stunnel immediately closes the socket. Why is it doing this? I'm including all configs and longs.

windows stunnel
by Noel Sanchez 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hello List. What I'd like to do is use stunnel on a Windows server behind the firewall then forward the data that comes in to the Windows server to another machine (another public ip behind the firewall) that's running an app that needs the original data. For example, I have a device out in the field that is using ssl to send data on port 4000 to my server in the office that has stunnel installed and listens on port 4000. Once the data is sent to the Windows server using stunnel, I'd like the Windows server to send the data to another computer that needs it but that doesn't have stunnel on it. The encryption will happen from the field device to the Windows server in the office, then that Windows server will have to forward the data to another computer that needs the data. I am at a lost on how to do this if at all possible. Any help would be great! Device using ssl out in the field sending data on port 4000---------firewall forwarding traffic from port 4000 to Windows server running stunnel behind firewall-----------Windows server receives stunnel data then forwards to another computer-------system that needs data---- Regards

Re: Windows config with both SSL listen and non-SSL listen
by Han Jun Li 08 Dec '05

Paul, This is a temporary solution but it works. What you need to do is run two instances of Stunnel--one instance configured in client mode and the other in server mode. If you want to run both as services, you can install the standard one with the "-install" switch. For the second instance, you need to use some other binary to install it with a different name and change the imagepath to point to the executable. /han >_____ > >From: stunnel-users-bounces(a)mirt.net [mailto:[email protected]] >On Behalf Of Paul Hethmon >Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 2:50 PM >To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net >Subject: [stunnel-users] Windows config with both SSL listen and >non-SSLlisten > > >I'm trying to set up using the Windows service the ability to listen in SSL >mode on one port (5102) and forward to non-SSL port (5010) and then also >listen on one port (5101) in non-SSL mode and forward to a remote port >(5102) in SSL mode.

Michal, Ok, the next obvious questions then: 1. When is 4.15 expected? 2. If not in the next 7 days, what can I do to help? I've done C/C++ and sockets for the last 10 years. I've looked at the code briefly so far, but have not set up a build environment yet. I need it in the next week so if there is any coding I can do which would help you, let me know your thoughts and where to put stuff. Also, just a public thanks for putting the package together. I started coding my own a couple of days ago and then thought there must have been someone else who just needed an SSL tunnel (and not a full blown SSH setup).

Server connecting back to client?
by Joshua Kugler 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I've looked through the man pages, FAQ's, examples, and found one post (without a reply: http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2005-May/000487.html) about this, but still don't have my question answered. I have a machine outside the firewall (let's call it outThere) that needs to connect back to a machine inside the firewall (let's call in inHere) for backup procedures. Now, because of the firewall, outThere cannot connect to inHere, but inHere can connect to anything on outThere that it wants. Can I initiate an stunnel connection from inHere to outThere, and then have stunnel on outThere listen on a localhost port, which, when connected to, would actually forward the connection (over SSL) back to a configured port on inHere? Is this at all doable? j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler CDE System Administrator http://distance.uaf.edu/

Stunnel sending ICMP packet at startup
by Paul Jones 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi there, I have set up Stunnel on both the server and the client. There is a firewall on the server side that only allows TCP connections through. When Stunnel is started up on the client side, the firewall is actually receiving an ICMP packet, not a TCP. Is this how Stunnel should be working? I assume it's doing a ping or something at startup. Thanks in advance. Paul _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Over 80,000 jobs across all industries at Australia's #1 job site. http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail

My stunnel client must start without user intervention. So I installed stunnel in client mode in a Windows XP Home computer as XP service. In XP Proffesional I can specify that only Administrators group has access to stunnel directory. XP Home does not have security tab in folder properties. Any person working in XP Home compter can copy stunnel private key How to protect private key from copying ? Andrus.

Call for Beta Testers: Tool similar to Stunnel.
by Wilfred Nilsen 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

We have designed a tool that is similar to Stunnel and we would like to know if anyone would be interested in testing the tool. A short introduction: The Barracuda HTTPS tunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. The HTTPS tunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, etc., by having the HTTPS tunnel provide the encryption. The HTTPS tunnel can also be used, for example, to tunnel traffic out from behind a restrictive firewall/proxy that only allows outgoing HTTPS web connections. The client is a Java program that can either be downloaded and started from the command prompt or started using Java Web Start. The server is BarracudaDrive. http://barracudaserver.com/examples/BarracudaDrive/ We will make the beta program (the server and client) available if anyone is interested in testing the tool and give us feedback. We are specifically interested in beta testers that are behind a restrictive company proxy. Thanks, Wilfred

Re: [stunnel-users] Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the firstconnection and not on subsequent connections
by Kevin A. McGrail 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

> I'd try to disable chroot and run stunnel under strace with "foreground = yes" option. Mike, When running in foreground, with or without chroot, things work as expected. Without foreground, it did not work. Two key differences on the logs for each: Output of "Cleaning up the signal pipe" prior to checking the libwrap permissions a finish line of "ssmtp finished (0 left)" instead of "ssmtp finished (-1 left)" (Yes, this is a dual processor box.) It looks like the key problem lies in the regerenation of the standalone mode. Is there a way with v4 to just use inetd to answer on port 465, negotiate and connect on port 25 on another host because perhaps that will avoid the issue.

Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the first connection and not on subsequent connections

Have worked on this all day without any glimmer of hope and would appreciate help and feedback! Regards, KAM # Description of your problem. What programs are on which machines, and how are they attempting to communicate. What connections are you attempting to secure in SSL. I am having problems with the regeneration of stunnel on an old but fairly reliable machine. I am switching from v3 to v4 and it works absolutely perfectly ONCE. The second time it just hangs. # What version of Stunnel you're using - remember, Stunnel 4.x doesn't take Stunnel 3.x command line options! 4.x # The list of parameters you are using for stunnel, and if you are running it standalone or from inetd/xinetd.

Stunnel Session Hangs
by Zachariah K Zachariah 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi folks, I use stunnel-4.12 with openssl-0.9.7g to tunnel my CVS-pserver protocols. I have set up the local stunnel client to listen to port 22400 and to forward any connections on it to the cvs server that has the server side stunnel listening on port 22401 forwarding connections to the cvs-pserver on port 2401. Having set up thus, I can do a cvs login just fine. I can watch the negotiation happening using tcpdump. However when I try to check out a module from the repository, I see some files coming through but only to eventually hang. If I <Ctrl C> and try again, more files come in but hangs before the transaction is complete. I have to do this several time in order to download all the files to my local workspace. Upon checking the logs, I find that the hang occurs immediately after the message: 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_write returned WANT_WRITE: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying I have included a snippet of the log file for reference. I have also included my stunnel.conf file. Sorry for the voluminous output. Can some one help me here?

Visual studio compilation errors

17 Nov '05

Hi, After browsing all previous list messages I havent found information about an error I get compiling stunnel with visual studio. The errors appear in linking step with undefined symbol message: "undefined symbol: LNK2019 undefined symbol _exit_stunnel referenced in function _main_initialize". I also attach the Makefile.w32 changed to work with visual studio. Thanks in advance. Regards, Jorge.

more stunnel problems
by Louis Young 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi guys Ok, as I've said in a previous mail, I'm now merely trying to get the linux client to work. In the config file: [ssmtp] accept = 465 connect = 25 But now: louislaptop:/usr/local/etc/stunnel # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

Have no machine to test this. Sorry, my patch contained a bad error: ctx->stack+=STACK_SIZE-8 is, of course, nonsense, since ctx->stack must not be changed. My patch to version 4.15b1 should read instead: *** sthreads.c.15b1 Wed Nov 9 12:18:18 2005 --- sthreads.c Wed Nov 9 17:07:57 2005 *************** *** 78,85 **** return NULL; } ctx->ctx.uc_link=NULL; /* it should never happen */ ! ctx->ctx.uc_stack.ss_sp=ctx->stack; ! #if defined(__sgi) || (defined(CPU_SPARC) && ( \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_0) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_1) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_2) || \ --- 78,84 ---- return NULL; } ctx->ctx.uc_link=NULL; /* it should never happen */ ! #if defined(CPU_SPARC) && ( \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_0) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_1) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_2) || \ *************** *** 88,96 **** defined(OS_SOLARIS2_5) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_6) || \ defined(OS_SOLARIS2_7) || \ ! defined(OS_SOLARIS2_8))) !
