[stunnel-users] Configure can't find openssl in Ubuntu

Tue Oct 3 18:42:54 CEST 2006

The problem with stunnel is that you are using a 4.x configuration 
file with a 3.x stunnel.  3.x stunnel uses switches (not .conf file) 
... 4.x changed from switches.  You could simply install the 4.x -- 
it supports later SSL versions (2 & 3) and seems to work pretty well 
-- I just went through this.
