Disabling IPv6
by Punitha 20 Apr '05

20 Apr '05

Hello Everyone !! I need to build Stunnel-4.09 in HP-UX11.11 without the support of IPv6. I did not use --enable-ipv6 option. In the configure log I could see the reference of getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions. Is that refers any of the system file or the function defined in the souce code? I used `nm stunnel | grep getaddrinfo` and it shows the following. $ nm stunnel | grep getaddrinfo getaddrinfo | |undef |code | getaddrinfo | 118768|uext |stub | $ I need to confirm the source(from where they are taken) of getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions. Is that related with the support of ipv6 in any way? Any of you please make me clear. Thanx in ADVANCE. Regards, Punitha.

Dear Users, Please stop reporting problems with obsolete versions of stunnel. You should always upgrade to the latest stunnel and OpenSSL first, than repeat your tests and report a problem. Best regards, Mike

Stunnel - Transfer loop executes not transferring any data.
by Michel Esber 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hello All, I am running a proprietary daemon on port 443 that accepts incoming connections. We are experiencing problems when activating stunnel on our production box. Everytime that we run our daemon with stunnel, our CPU and memory/swap area consumption is extremely intensive. Each stunnel process consumes approximately 37Mb of RSS memory. I have browsed through my logs and here is what I found: 2005.04.18 14:35:00 LOG3[15242:1245336]: transfer() loop executes not transferring any data 2005.04.18 14:35:06 LOG3[15242:1245336]: please report the problem to Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net 2005.04.18 14:35:06 LOG3[15242:1245336]: socket open rd=yes wr=yes, ssl open rd=yes wr=yes 2005.04.18 14:35:06 LOG3[15242:1245336]: socket ready rd=no wr=no, ssl ready rd=no wr=no 2005.04.18 14:35:06 LOG3[15242:1245336]: check_SSL_pending=0, ssl_closing=0 2005.04.18 14:35:06 LOG5[15242:1245336]: Connection reset: 258 bytes sent to SSL, 153319 bytes sent to socket Some details: a) My configuration file: [https] accept = 443 exec = /path/to/daemon execargs = daemon -ssl stunnel 4.07 on i686-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001 Global options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/var/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 b) glibc-2.2.4-31.7 glibc-devel-2.2.4-32.8 libcap-1.10-6 glibc-common-2.2.4-31.7 c) uname -a Linux myserver 2.4.9-e.57enterprise #1 SMP Thu Dec 2 20:45:51 EST 2004 i686 unknown d) gcc -v gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-118.7.2) e) openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001 Can anyone shred some light?

stunnel generating defuncts
by Serxio Barral 19 Apr '05

19 Apr '05

Hi there! I'm using stunnel as client with SuSE SLES 8. Usually after several days working OK (up to two weeks) it begins to generate defunct processes for every transfer. At first, stunnel version was 3.14 (the one that comes out of the box with SLES 8), but now I have downloaded an compiled 3.26 and it just happens the same. killing stunnel won't help, since relaunching it again turns on generating defuncts. Situation does not come back to normal until rebooting the server. Any hint on this issue? Thanks in advance, Serxio Barral.

Please Help! I keep getting the same error.
by Theodore W. Hildebrandt 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Refer to my submission of 03/24/05: "error:1408F10B:SSL . . . " I had hoped that someone would tell me how to get around this error, but no message has appeared in the stunnel Archive. I have now ftp'd version 4.09 and tried it, with the same results. I wait and wait for a connection, and finally interrupt the process, since it's not going anywhere. And then I get the "error:1408F10B. . ." message in the stunnel log. Since I seem to be able to send e-mail from my old Pentium II computer (Windows 98SE) I'm, using it so send this message. [Note that I can still receive e-mail on the new Dell Pentium IV machine (Windows XP Home). I just can't send anything.] Doesn't anyone have answers? Ted Hildebrandt

Unexpected closed connections
by Rory Campbell-Lange 11 Apr '05

11 Apr '05

Hi Everyone We have been very happily using stunnel for about 5 months connecting a site office back to a main office, tunnelling imap connections. We are suddenly seeing lots of disconnection messages and people at a. can no longer see their mail on d. The server suffers a "socket write shutdown" condition and shuts down the associated process. We have restarted the routers and firewalls and all seems to be working fine, other than stunnel. I'd be grateful for any insight or further help. Many thanks Rory Present arrangement: a. site client | b. site server port forwarded to c. | | internet | | c. main office server port forwarded to d. | d. imap server Server b forwards imap connections securely to the main office server, which then passes on on the imap connections to the imap server.

Occurs when I upgraded from stunnel 4.08 to 4.09. Using OpenSSL 0.9.7f . Stunnel.conf looks like # We're running as a client to SSLify the POP & IMAP connections client=yes # POP3 service, listens on localhost:11110 [dslx-pop3s] accept=localhost:11110 connect=mail.dslextreme.com:995 What do I need to add when going from 4.08 to 4.09?

stunnel and NNTP on windows - best practices
by Sir Thanksalot 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Hi all, I am trying to use stunnel for SSL access to a NNTP newserver and found quite a few pages that list ways of doing that. I personally am using xnews as my newsreader, and I have seen variations of the same instructions with different software (Agent, Free Agent for newsreaders, Pegasus Mail as your mail application etc.). For completeness sake, here are some of the ones that I've found - http://www.cotse.net/users/putty/ssl (for Xnews and stunnel 4.x) http://www.geocities.com/d4vidb/x_setup13.html (for Xnews and stunnel 3.x - doesn't use the stunnel.conf file necessary in stunnel 4.x) http://www.noderunner.net/~llin/old/nntp-ssl.html (for a newsreader and stunnel 3.x. It also has links to a stunnel.conf file for stunnel 4.x users) In all these instructions (whether using the stunnel 3.x commandline options or using the stunnel.conf file for stunnel 4.x), I haven't seen any instructions about creating any certificates or public/private keys or a passphrase. Also there doesn't seem to be any writeup on what algorithm actually ends up getting used or even a way to pick which algorithm to use. What's the best practise for users? Should they do anything extra? Set up key pairs? Choose a default algorithm? Thanks. -- _______________________________________________ NEW! Lycos Dating Search.

TIMEOUTclose
by Joe Abbey 08 Apr '05

08 Apr '05

Background: I have been having issues getting Entourage to connect with my mail server over POP3S. Entourage will connect, communicate, and then hangs for 60 seconds. According to tcpdumps, Entourage appears to hang until a timeout. Connecting directly to the pop3 daemon, bypassing stunnel, there is no lag. Therefore something appears to be wrond with the stunnel/Entourage interaction. To get Entourage to work with POP3S and have virtually no lag, I've set in my stunnel.conf TIMEOUTclose = 2 for [pop3s]. Question: Is there any reason not to set TIMEOUTclose = 0? Thanks! Joe

stunnel 4.09 problem: Connection rejected: too many clients
by Steven Van Acker 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

Hi, after upgrading to stunnel 4.09, we are having 2 problems with it that did not exist in a previous version (our case: stunnel 4.05 without pthreads) ---[ My testsetup is as follows: * stunnel listening on port 4321, connects to localhost port 13 (daytime) * daytime is enabled in inetd * stunnel was compiled without pthreads * ulimit -u = 8192 ---[ problem 1 At first, it works fine. For every incoming connection, the process forks and data is transferred. However, when the connection is closed, the forked process remains hanging for a while (about 1 minute) and then exits.

This is the error: Mar 31 13:53:40 hostname stunnel[13044]: Connection rejected: too many clients (>=4000) netstat only shows +- 500 connections, of which none are aimed at the stunnel process in question (port 4321 in my test setup) there is only 1 stunnel process active aswell. I dug into the problem a bit and it probably has to do with num_clients not being decreased after a process is closed (although I can not find any specifics :/) greets, -- Steven

Terminal services and stunnel 4.09
by Mattias Olsson 01 Apr '05

Hi! Im tying to access an internal Win2003 terminal server from my Linux box (internet). As i understand it stunnel should do the work. I have read some documents but im not sure... This is my setup. Linuxbox ----> Linuxbox ssh server | Firewall | Terminal server i wish to access. Can this be done or do i have to open a port in the fw to access the TS directly? Should stunnel.conf look like this on my linuxbox (client) cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem client = yes On the TS? [TS] accept = 3000 connect = 3389 Should it have cert = ? Or could i on my linux ssh server have a config looking like this: [TS-remote] accept = 3000 connect = <internal-ip>:3389 Should it have cert = ? A novice man sends his best regards and thanks! /Kaz -- Mvh / Regards Mattias Olsson - aka - KaZaMaNIaC

Does stunnel work on Windows 2000 & SIMP(Secure Instant Messaging) ??
by DK 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Hi Group, I have a windows 2000 box & want to communicate securely with someone else via SIMP(Secure Instant Messaging Protocol - http://www.winfosec.com/simp.php) I know that SIMP Instant Messaging is a "Direct Connection" & does NOT go through an intermediary server & that its encrypted, but being the security nut I am, I want to know if "stunnel" handles the SIMP protocols ? ... as I can't find anywhere what the SIMP protocols are ... because as I have read in the stunnel FAQ, stunnel does not handle UDP.

Hi Mike, Thank you for your precious help. I am using stunnel as SSL client. The SSL server runs in a router. As you suggested me, I have done these changes: at first I have modified the stunnel.conf with options = SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG stunnel.conf ============================== client = yes debug=7 options = SSL_OP_TLS_BLOCK_PADDING_BUG [telnet] accept = 23 connect = 10.36.3.144:4433 ============================= but I have got this error ======================================= file stunnel.conf line 5: Illegal SSL option 2005.03.31 13:26:48 LOG3[3396:3716]: Server is down ======================================= After I have changed the stunnel.conf in this way: stunnel.conf ============================== client = yes debug=7 ciphers = RC4-MD5 [telnet] accept = 23 connect = 10.36.3.144:4433 ============================== The problem I had is now solved. But my question is: how can I know more about this protocol incompatibility? Is there an accurate documentation about that and also about stunnel configuration? Sorry but sometimes it's difficult for me to find (in the FAQ or other sessions) the informations that I need. Thanks&Regards Maddalena

The IDEA algorithm is patented, but I don't think Mike included that in his builds. You can configure Stunnel to only use specific ciphers, in which case you wouldn't be using it regardless. Does that make it legal? Consult a lawyer. Software patents suck. I'd download the openssl.exe and the libs and run 'openssl.exe ciphers -v' and see exactly which ciphers it includes and avoid any from which your legal team suggess you run away. -- Brian Hatch If we aren't supposed Systems and to eat animals, why Security Engineer are they made of meat? http://www.ifokr.org/bri/ Every message PGP signed

Stunnel 4.09 released
by Michal Trojnara 26 Mar '05

26 Mar '05

New stunnel 4.09 can be found on my FTP site: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/ Here is the ChangeLog entry: * DLLs for OpenSSL 0.9.7f. * Bugfixes - Compilation problem with undeclarated socklen_t fixed. - TIMEOUTclose is not used when there is any data in the buffers. - Stunnel no longer relies on close_notify with SSL 2.0 connections, since SSL 2.0 protocol does not have any alerts defined. - Closing SSL socket when there is some data in SSL output buffer is detected and reported as an error. - Install/chmod race condition when installing default certificate fixed. - Stunnel no longer installs signal_handler on ignored signals. Best regards, Mike

error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number
by Theodore W. Hildebrandt 24 Mar '05

I was running stunnel-4.08 under Windows XP-Home, using MS IEX as browser and Netscape 4.6 for e-mail. My ISP is AT&T Worldnet and I am accessing it via DSL and home wireless NW. Here is stunnel.conf: client = yes [pop3] accept = 110 connect = ipostoffice.att.net:995 [smtp] accept = 25 connect = imailhost.att.net:465 As instructed by AT&T, the e-mail servers have been specified as "localhost", both POP-3 and SMTP. The problem is that while I can download messages, I am unable to send e-mail because the "peer disconnects", and the log file carries the following messages: 2005.03.24 10:18:00 LOG5[2960:232]: smtp connected from 127.0.0.1:2194 2005.03.24 10:18:00 LOG5[2960:2428]: smtp connected from 127.0.0.1:2197 2005.03.24 10:18:01 LOG3[2960:232]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected 2005.03.24 10:18:01 LOG3[2960:2428]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected 2005.03.24 10:18:09 LOG3[2960:2084]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2005.03.24 10:18:09 LOG3[2960:3384]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number I have been able to run "openssl version" with the result: "OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004" but I am unable to obtain the other outputs specified under the instructions for the "Stunnel-Users Mailing List". I have tried replacing libssl32.dll and libay32.dll with versions more recently downloaded (but with the same origination dates) and no improvement. So I am sending this message from another system running Win98 and stunnel-4.05, also using Netscape 4.6, which seems to work o.k. Please tell me how to get the right version number to work with stunnel-4.08, and WinXP. Additionally, it would be nice to know how to obtain the outputs suggested in the instructions for Stunnel-Users Mailing List.

Hi, someone could help me? I am using stunnel (4.07) as ssl client to do telnet to my router with ssl server (openssl 0.9.7d). After protocol handshake I get this error: SSL_read: 1408F455: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac problem Stunnel is configured in this way: ========================== client = yes debug=7 cert=clcert.pem [telnet] accept = 23 connect = 10.36.3.144:4433 ========================== My router's configuration is: ========================== -Verify 4 -cert cert.pem ========================== The exchange of packets: ========================== client sends=======> Client Hello server sends======> Server Hello,Certificate, Certificate Request,Server Hello Done client sends======> Certificate, Client Key Exchange, Certificate Verify, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message server sends=====> Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message and then Application Data.

Problems using STunnel with a non-default port - Please Help
by Chetan Rao 22 Mar '05

22 Mar '05

I have a personal webserver running on Win2K Pro SP4 that listens on port 17875. This server is accessible through my NAT and software firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro). I then installed STunnel with the following conf: [https] accept=4430 connect=17875 TIMEOUTclose=0 Now, when I access https://<server>:4430, I get a HTTP 400 (Bad Request) error message, with both Internet Explorer 6 and FireFox 1.01. However, if I change the accept port from 4430 to 443 (and make the appropriate changes on the NAT for port forwarding), and use https://<server>, it works. I don't want to use the standard port. What am I doing wrong? Here's the log that STunnel generated: 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG5[1044:288]: stunnel 4.08 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG6[1044:1096]: PRNG seeded successfully 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG5[1044:1096]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: FD 168 in non-blocking mode 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2005.03.16 08:33:26 LOG7[1044:1096]: https bound to 0.0.0.0:4430 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:1096]: https accepted FD=180 from 192.168.0.2:4864 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:1096]: FD 180 in non-blocking mode 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:1096]: Creating a new thread 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:1096]: New thread created 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: https started 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG5[1044:896]: https connected from 192.168.0.2:4864 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 1 items in the session cache 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 client connects that finished 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 client renegotiatations requested 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 1 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 1 server connects that finished 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 server renegotiatiations requested 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 session cache hits 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 1 session cache misses 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: 0 session cache timeouts 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG6[1044:896]: SSL accepted: new session negotiated 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG6[1044:896]: Negotiated ciphers: RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=MD5 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: FD 200 in non-blocking mode 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: https connecting 127.0.0.1:17875 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: connect_wait: connected 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: Remote FD=200 initialized 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: Socket closed on read 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL write shutdown 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL alert (write): warning: close notify 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: SSL_shutdown retrying 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: s_poll_wait timeout waiting for SSL close_notify 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG5[1044:896]: Connection closed: 208 bytes sent to SSL, 389 bytes sent to socket 2005.03.16 08:34:08 LOG7[1044:896]: https finished (0 left) Any help much appreciated.

Certificate chain not used for server?
by Ed Kapitein 21 Mar '05

21 Mar '05

Hi all, I have a working setup of stunnel listening on port 443 and connect to the server on the same host on port 80. It is done via xinetd. Alltough everything is working just fine, clients on webbrowsers get the "you have choosen not to trust this CA" error when connecting to this server. In apache the certificate chain (bundle.ca) is used and clients connecting to the apache server wont get this error. Is there a way to make stunnel behave like apache, so the clients don't have to manually install the CA certificates? (the certificate is a vallid certificate obtained from globaslsign.be) i do have the CAfile in my options file, but this does not help. All help is greatly appreciated! Kind regards, @

Creating a man in middle attack for legit purposes.
by Todd Troutman 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

So I don't normally start off on a list by immediately asking a question but I've got a weird one here that's a critical thing tonight, plus, this might just be entertaining! Problem : MacOS Panther has horrible performance problems with large https web apps. So I setup Stunnel to take port 80 and run it through the web app on 443. Provides http from an https server. On a MacOS client machine I set /etc/hosts to say that system.netsuite.com, the web app, is 192.168.0.4, a handy FreeBSD 5.3 box running stunnel 4.05 It works. Sort of. Problems - the web app keeps rewriting the url from http to https, anytime I click on anything, hmmm.. so I can't make stunnel answer on 443 because then I'm back to square one. Also, I can't login, the web app is giving me a login page as http, but I get a session timeout,please login again, just repeats, unsure if something in the stunnel config should be done to fix that. Other than that, this is working. Config is currently this. client=yes accept=80 connect=system.netsuite.com:443 Anyway, so is this maybe one of the stranger uses of stunnel, possibly a wrong headed and broken way of using it, but oh well. There goes my plea for some ideas on this one, Thanks, Todd

Hi, someone could help me? I am using stunnel (4.07) as ssl client to do telnet to my router with ssl server (openssl 0.9.7d). Stunnel is configured in this way: ========================== client = yes debug=7 cert=clcert.pem [telnet] accept = 23 connect = 10.36.3.144:4433 ========================== My router's configuration is: ========================== -Verify 4 -cert cert.pem ========================== The exchange of packets: ========================== client sends=======> Client Hello server sends======> Server Hello,Certificate, Certificate Request,Server Hello Done client sends======> Certificate, Client Key Exchange, Certificate Verify, Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message server sends=====> Change Cipher Spec, Encrypted Handshake Message and then Application Data.

Radius over Stunnel??
by Frazer, Andrew non Unisys 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello all.. I would like to pass radius over stunnel, but I'm not sure if this will work... I have a lot of 'client's that are using RADIUS for authentication, but i want to pass the data over the internet, and radius is relatively insecure. My client machines also run a web server, which stunnel sits in front of, to provide ssl encrypted web services. My radius servers can easily run stunnel, without any issue. Could someone suggest a configuration for this??

syslog question
by Brian T 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

If debug=4 ( or not 0 ) and output= is commented in an stunnel config, it looks like in server mode, messages goto syslog. But in client mode, nothing goes to syslog. Is this the way it's supposed to be? -Brian

Re: [stunnel-users] long delay to close the ssl session ?
by ikeda＠areabe 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

If TIMEOUTclose value is positive, stunnel does not transmit TCP FIN, even though application sends TCP FIN, until timeout time expires I don't know why stunnel designer chose it, maybe because of the performance, or some others. Some of the browsers do not start to display the page until receiving the entire packet. And one of the trigger for the browser to detect to receive the whole is TCP FIN. From that things, such kind of the problem of yours occurs. regards taka On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 10:39:47 -0800 (PST), gary ng <garyng2000(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks, that did the trick.

long delay to close the ssl session ?
by gary ng 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

Hi, I am using stunnel to wrap SSL around SWAT. Everything works fine except that it takes a very long delay for the browser to see that the page has already been transmitted completely(in other words, the other end has closed). I observed this behaviour with both 3.x and 4.x stunnel. Looking through the log, I see that it takes exactly one minute from the start of the session till the session is closed, seems to be some parameter within stunnel to hold the session. I tried both inetd as well as stand alone stunnel mode and both behave the same as well. Is this an issue with SWAT or stunnel ? If I just use plain SWAT through inetd, I don't see this behaviour. thanks for any help in advance. gary __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Anyone here managed to build stunnel for Irix? it seems socklen_t is undefined as a type on this OS (and also older versions of solaris). I have found a possible solution here: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~fastops/ITOS/portable/socklen$_t.html but I need to know what type this identifier is supposed to be. any help?

Naive question: will stunnel connect dynamically?
by Duncan Murdoch 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

I currently use openssh to open a tunnel between my laptop and my POP3 server, but the tunnel keeps locking up. (I think it's a server problem, or an intermittent line problem, because it happens with both openssh and Putty.) What I'd like is a program that would open the tunnel only as needed, so I can get the mail, and let the tunnel close. Can stunnel do this? More generally, is there a quick summary somewhere on the relative benefits of stunnel's use of SSL versus an SSH approach? Duncan Murdoch

Windows XP Pro as a client of Remote Dekstop via stunnel
by Jacek Baszkiewicz 02 Mar '05

02 Mar '05

Hi! I'm currently working (without success) on such problem: I have to connect via Stunnel to Windows Server Remote Desktop from workstation with Windows XP Proffesional. When I refer to the local port handled by stunnel, Windows doesn't let me go go further, because it thinks that I'm trying to use local Remote Dekstop and prints: "You are already connected to this machine" (there can be only one connection through RD) . Is there any workaround for this problem, namely, to use secure connection via Stunnel to Remote Dekstop on XP Pro client? This is my config: client=yes cert = stunnel.pem [ts] accept=localhost:3389 connect=remote_ip:443

stunnel woes under HPUX 10.20

[Please keep me CC'ed on replies! I'm not on any stunnel lists.] Stunnel 4.07 and 4.08 don't build under HPUX 10.20. 4.06 appears to build, but doesn't appear to work---with a config file like this, running on the local host: pid = /usr/local/var/stunnel/stunnel.pid client = yes foreground = yes # debug = debug [pop3s] accept = 110 connect = our-pop-host:995 ...and an attempt like this, using (for instance) Emacs 21.4a's movemail: movemail po:foner:localhost NEWMAIL [the-password] ...I get an infinite hang. Enabling debugging causes stunnel to spit out an infinite stream of a single line at maximum rate, and seems unaffected by whether I'm trying to connect to it or not: # stunnel test-stunnel.conf 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG5[9738:0]: stunnel 4.06 on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 FORK+POLL with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /users/foner/.rnd 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /users/foner/.rnd 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: PRNG seeded successfully 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: file ulimit = 60 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG5[9738:0]: 27 clients allowed 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: FD 3 in non-blocking mode 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: pop3s bound to 0.0.0.0:110 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG7[9738:0]: Created pid file /usr/local/var/stunnel/stunnel.pid 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: daemon_loop: s_poll_wait: Invalid argument (22) 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: daemon_loop: s_poll_wait: Invalid argument (22) 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: daemon_loop: s_poll_wait: Invalid argument (22) 1900.01.00 00:00:00 LOG6[9738:0]: daemon_loop: s_poll_wait: Invalid argument (22) [ . . . and forever more . . . ] I can't imagine that this is supposed to be how debug works, since it's totally useless for debugging if it spits out the same line as fast as it can. I'm running the stunnel as root, and netstat seems to show that it's bound to port 110, but doesn't seem to indicate any outbound connection from stunnel to our pop host after I invoke movemail. I have no idea if versions before 4.06 work; I haven't tried. Sure, this is an old OS, but zillions of other things, including the entire GNU toolchain, seem to work on it, so stunnel should, too. Builds for all three versions I've tried may be found in at the following URLs. Note that 4.07 and 4.08 fail on different files, but in essentially the same way. http://foner.www.media.mit.edu/people/foner/Sys/stunnel-4.06.build http://foner.www.media.mit.edu/people/foner/Sys/stunnel-4.07.build http://foner.www.media.mit.edu/people/foner/Sys/stunnel-4.08.build I've done some websearching, and I've searched the stunnel archives at mirt.net, but haven't found anything relevant. Any clues? Thanks...

stunnel logging problem
by Brian T 28 Feb '05

28 Feb '05

Hi, I work for a company which has a custom embedded Linux platform, and have been working with stunnel for some time but have never seen this problem. I have seen it with stunnel 4.04 and 4.07, which is compiled on a Redhat 7.2ish platform, but newer SSL libraries. (below my sig is the stunnel info). Basically I use a config file, but when debug= and output= is commented out, stunnel seems to cause a problem which resets the embedded unit. If I uncomment them both and use output=/var/log/stunnel.log ( or /dev/null ) everything works fine. Not sure where to look for the problem that is causing this since I can't even get a core dump. I looged in s_log() but nothing stuck out as being wrong.
