Tom,

Kill the stunnel process. Then mv the log. This will allow stunnel to right to a new log file.

Best regards,

Dan

Subject: [stunnel-users] stunnel log rolling

Hi,

I'm new to stunnel and it isn't clear to me how the log rolling feature works.

I built stunnel 5.49 with gcc 4.2.0 on Solaris 10. I'm running it on Solaris 11.3 SPARC. Using openssl 1.0.2p

The config file has disabled syslog and is logging to stunnel.log.

Command line is: stunnel stunnel.conf

where stunnel.conf contains the following:

syslog = no

output = stunnel.log

debug = 7

[service-exterior]

client = no

options = NO_SSLv2

options = NO_SSLv3

options = NO_TLSv1

options = NO_TLSv1.1

options = -NO_TLSv1.2

cert = /path/to/stunnel.pem

curve = zzz

accept = testhost:32100

connect = 127.0.0.1:32200

[service-interior]

client = yes

options = NO_SSLv2

options = NO_SSLv3

accept = 127.0.0.1:32200

connect = 127.0.0.1:32100

sslVersion = TLSv1

ciphers = zzz

TIMEOUTconnect = 60

The log rollowing steps I tried that don't work are:

mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1

kill -USR1 <stunnelpid>

The log message "LOG7[main]: Processing SIGNAL_REOPEN_LOG" shows up in stunnel.log.1. However, new client connections to host:32100 do not trigger creation of a new stunnel.log file. In fact, logging stops to stunnel.log.1 as soon as the USR1 is processed. The new client connections work as before, but there isn't any logging.

I restarted stunnel and tried the test again with these steps:

mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1

touch stunnel.log

kill -USR1 <stunnelpid>

That also doesn't work.

Please let me know the correct sequence of steps to roll the stunnel.log

Thank you,

-- Tom
