Hi Michal,

i'm using stunnel since version 3.2x and now i'm trying to switch to version 4.05. but there still some problems left so i searched the "net" and found only one article about this problems (http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2004-August/000013.html). but this solution seems not to work for me or i'm a little bit to stupid to understand it.

i used 3.2x with the following command line:

$ stunnel -P ~/ -v2 -A ./publickey.pem -p privatekey.pem -r target_host.net:666 -c -d 127.0.0.1:7777

Then i tried to write me my own config-file for stunnel-4.05.

$ cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf # pid is created in an jail pid = /home/user/.stunnel/stunnel.pid # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = /home/user/.stunnel/stunnel.log # use it for client mode client = yes foreground = yes # Authentification verify = 3 cert = /home/user/privatekey.pem CAfile = /home/user/publickey.pem # Service-Level Configuration

[application] accept = 127.0.0.1:666 connect = targethost.net:7777

But this one does not work. The stunnel.log told me this:

$ cat /home/user/stunnel.log 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG5[15233:1006686208]: stunnel 4.05 on i386-unknown-openbsd3.6 PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/arandom 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG6[15233:1006686208]: PRNG seeded successfully 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Certificate: /home/privatekey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Key file: /home/user/privatekey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Loaded verify certificates from /home/user/publickey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG5[15233:1006686208]: FD_SETSIZE=1024, file ulimit=128 -> 61 clients allowed 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 7 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: application bound to 127.0.0.1:666 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 8 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Created pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid

It looks for me normal but i can not connect to this local port and i can not seen the "stunnel" as an process in my "ps -al |grep stunnel". And there is no error message or something like that. But when i try to connect to this local adress 127.0.0.1:666 i get always an "lost connection".

Please tell me if my config-file is right?! So i know that the mistake must be at the "application" and not in my stunnel.conf.

Thx for your help!

With Regards
