How do I kill stunnel?
by Grant Edwards 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

I've got an application that starts stunnel using equivalent of a fork/exec. The stunnel process then appears to fork off multiple copies of itself. Before the application exits, it needs to stop stunnel. I send a SIGINT to the PID that was created using the fork, but only the first "master" copy terminates -- the master stunnel process doesn't terminate its children when it exits. So I end up with a bunch of "orphaned" stunnel processes. They're not zombies, they're process that are either in state R or S (runnable or sleeping). How do I tell stunnel to not only terminate, but to terminate whatever child processes it has created? -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

Stunnel config files incompatible between 4.05 and 4.21 ?
by Brian McKee 25 Jun '08

25 Jun '08

Hi All, I have a stunnel config file that works fine on an older Mandrake machine running stunnel 4.05. If I use that same config file on a new Ubuntu machine running 4.21 it just dies with "/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem: No such file or directory" IIUC, running in client mode it doesn't need a .pem file, and I didn't create any certifcates on the Mandrake machines. Do I need to generate a cert for some reason? I've attached the config below. Brian =============================== client = yes [telnet] accept = 23 connect = some.ip.number.removed:992 [as-central] accept = 8470 connect = some.ip.number.removed:9470 [as-database] accept = 8471 connect = some.ip.number.removed:9471 [as-rmtcmd] accept = 8475 connect = some.ip.number.removed:9475

Is the "HTTP Proxy connect" feature implemented?
by alex Wright 24 Jun '08

24 Jun '08

Hey, I'm trying to use stunnel in the following scenerio: ssh-client -> stunnel (to ssl) -> Proxy -> server(ssl to ssh). I downloaded stunnel 4.25, but I hadn't noiticed any support for this. However, in the "patches" page (http://www.stunnel.org/patches/) - three patches seem to be suitable: (connect-proxy_dunbar.patch<http://www.stunnel.org/patches/patches/connect-proxy_dunbar.patch>, connect-proxy.mwald.patch<http://www.stunnel.org/patches/patches/connect-proxy.mwald.patch>) but are for version 4.05 (whichwill probably be a pain to merge with current version). When I stumbled upon the Changelog ( http://www.stunnel.org/download/ChangeLog.txt) I noticed that version 4.15, has support for "Client mode CONNECT protocol" - which is what I need - and altough i had looked hard, I haven't found any documentation to it. So, is the above feature what I want (and if so - how do I use it?) or do I need to update the patches to the current version? Thanks in advance, Alex.

Using Stunnel on Vista
by John Lallemand 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

We have a system that needs a TN3270 client and Stunnel to connect on XP. Currently, OnNet Host/Rumba is the most popular TN3270 client in use. But when we try these programs on Vista, the connection times out. 1) Is Stunnel Vista compatible? 2) If it is, does Stunnel need specific settings to work on Vista? Thank you! ------------------------------ John Lallemand Software Release Manager University of California, Santa Cruz

Problem with multiple stunnel jobs
by Carter Browne 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

A couple of days ago, I upgrade from 4.15 to 4.23 on a Linux system running Redhat 8. At the same time I went from openssl 0.9.8g to 0.9.8h. No changes were made to the configuration file. After the change, rather than starting a single process, it starts 6 processes. The process number of the lowest number process is the one that is put into the /var/run/stunnel.pid file. When I try to stop stunnel, using /etc/init.d/stunnel stop, the lowest number process is kill, and the highest number process seems to be running continuously - although it is not a hard cpu loop, but it keeps on accumulating run time. The number of processes may not be a new phenomenon, but the inability to kill itself is. I normally restart the stunnel on a daily basis to keep the log files manageable, but with this new behavior, the /etc/init.d/strunnel restart command fails because the ports are still in use. Any ideas on how to fix this problem. Thanks, Carter -- Carter Browne CBCS cbrowne(a)cbcs-usa.com 781-721-2890

stunnel service problems...
by Jeremy Paje 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Has anyone had any problems with the windows stunnel service not starting automatically? We install stunnel as a service (stunnel.exe -install) We've had it previously installed on 600+ machines with no problems, but recently (noticed on slower machines running XP) the stunnel service does not start...but it happens randomly only on slower machines. The following errors are in the event log... Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the stunnel service to connect. (Event ID ID 7009) AND The stunnel service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. (Event ID 7000) I've tried setting the service to restart if failed, and to delay 2 minutes before restart, etc with no luck. If you start the stunnel manually all is well, it just doesn't start on bootup. Any suggestions? Thanks JP
