[stunnel-users] jailed stunnel can't find DNS

Mon Nov 8 02:45:12 CET 2004

My stunnel.conf file looks like:

    debug = 7
    cert = /usr/local/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
    chroot = /usr/local/stunnel/var/run/
    pid = /stunnel.pid
    output = stunnel.log
    CAfile = /usr/local/stunnel/etc/stunnel/certs.pem
    verify = 3
    delay = yes
    client = yes
    setuid = stunnel
    setgid = stunnel
    .
    .
    .

and the stunnel.log file:

    .
    .
    .
    2004.11.07 16:49:10 LOG7[3794:1025]: smtps started
    2004.11.07 16:49:10 LOG5[3794:1025]: smtps connected from 127.0.0.1:1143
    2004.11.07 16:49:10 LOG3[3794:1025]: Failed to resolve hostname 'abc.wxyz.net'
    2004.11.07 16:49:10 LOG3[3794:1025]: Failed to initialize remote connection
    2004.11.07 16:49:10 LOG7[3794:1025]: smtps finished (0 left)

Removing chroot in stunnel.conf fixes the problem, but its no longer jailed.

Hints?

        Thanks,

        John
