[stunnel-users] Error I am receiving in stunnel logfile (help please!)

Sat Jan 20 03:32:32 CET 2007

Hello Everyone,

I tried it on 4.3.3 as well with my re-compiled version ... below are 
all 5 lines in the log file.

  stunnel 4.16 on powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
  Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv4
  stunnel connected from 127.0.0.1:37690
  remote socket: Addr family not supported by protocol (66)
  Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket

I also recompiled the latest stunnel with and without IPv6 ... same 
result with IPv6 as with IPv4 and same result with the new version:

  stunnel 4.20 on powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006
  Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6
  stunnel accepted connection from ::ffff:127.0.0.1:59274
  remote socket: Addr family not supported by protocol (66)
  Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket

I have been using this for a while but I had to transfer to a new 
machine (AIX 4.3 to 5.3) and had to recompile my software and get a 
newer stunnel.  I am now on 4.20

I thought it might be related to ipv4 versus ipv6 ... according to 
AIX documentation I had it set up for ipv4.  I tried ipv6 for ducks, 
no difference.  My inetd.conf line is:

visanet stream  tcp    nowait  root /visanet/ssl/stunnel stunnel
visanet stream  tcp6   nowait  root /visanet/ssl/stunnel stunnel

The second is IPv6.  The error is somehow on the remote though.  I 
can connect to the remote with telnet ... just not stunnel.  It seems 
that depending on how inetd is configured, stunnel accepts either the 
IPv4 or IPv6 whether or not I compil it using USE_IPv6 1 or not ... 
what am I missing!?  I really only need to hack it to connect to this 
one site, at least for the moment.

/visanet/ssl/visanet.conf

My .conf file is:

output = /tmp/stunnel.log
debug = 5
RNDfile = /visanet/ssl/stunnel.rnd
RNDoverwrite = yes
client = yes
connect = ssllab.pgs.wcom.net:443
sslVersion = SSLv2
cert = /visanet/ssl/stunnel.pem
EGD = /etc/egd-pool

My guess is that this is something really stupid I am doing, but it 
is not obvious.  Any help would be appreciated.  I would even take an 
AIX executable for stunnel that works!  Or whatever the correct 
configure options are.  Or????

Thanks,  Eric
