[stunnel-users] SSL CTX use RSA Private Key error

Thu Mar 26 09:50:27 CET 2009

Hello,
it seems that your private key is not in a correct format.
Have a look at http://www.stunnel.org/faq/certs.html to see how to
create a key and verify your key.
Verify also that the key is readable only by its owner (chmod 600 key.pem).
