Hello everyone.

I have not been on the list for a long time. I last compiled openssl and stunnel in 2000 or so and have been using the same code ever since. I use it very simply in client mode ... I have an application to authorize credit cards and it connect to stunnel in inetd mode (with -c in the command line).

visanet is now requiring version 2 SSL so I have to change so I got all the new stuff and compiled it up and made a .conf file.

I have two problems (for now :-) ): 1) No matter what I do it seems that at least some debug is coming back through the socket, and no debug is going to my debug file 2) The debug I am getting is very strange -- the first time it says "Snagged 64 from bytes from stunnel.rnd" The second time it says "Unable to retrieve any random data from stunnel.rnd" When I examine the file it has a current date and zero bytes. If I copy back my old (2000) stunnel.rnd it always reads once, and then writes it back out with zero bytes.

I am AIX 4.3.3 and I compiled with xlc and the only option I used that was not default was to not link in the wrappers. I did get a ton of warnings that the "-pthreaded" option was not valid ... but it executes and responds so I am not sure that matters? Or should I do something (what?) about that?

My configuration files for the service (visanet) is:

output = /tmp/stunnel.log debug = 7 RNDfile = /visanet/ssl/stunnel.rnd [visanet] client = yes connect = ssllab.pgs.wcom.net:443 sslVersion = SSLv2 protocol = smtp cert = /viasanet/ssl/stunnel.pem

The rnd file and cert file are from 2000 (old old old!). I would have expected a file /tmp/stunnel.log -- the file is not even created!

The old inetd line was:

(blah blah) stunnel -r ssllab.pgs.wcom.net:443 -c -R /visanet/sslold/stunnel.rnd

What stupid thing am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have experience using stunnel with visanet and can they give me any pointers?

Thanks!

Eric
