[stunnel-users] trouble shooting Pan issue

Thu Mar 29 20:00:53 CEST 2007

hi,

i'm trying to trouble shoot a problem with a newsreader called pan
that i might be having.  here's my setup:

ubuntu 6.10 kernel 2.6.17
pan 0.14.2
stunnel4 4.150

i created a snntp.conf file with only:
client = yes
foreground = yes
debug = 7

[nntps]
accept = localhost:2000
connect = inetnews.worldnet.att.net:563

then i run stunnel4 and this is the output:
ephman at wintermute:~$ sudo stunnel4 /etc/stunnel/snntp.conf

i then startup pan and it won't connect to the server the log file says:
