[stunnel-users] after 4.30 no more working

Thu Jan 28 10:34:24 CET 2010

My current compile-install-configure-run environment is broken with 4.30.

Up to 4.29 stunnel is working ok for me. 4.30 compiles, installs but when
running it (i simply start /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel) the behaviour is completely
different. Up to version 4.29 the program simply starts and logs to syslog:

With 4.30 i get lots of messages to the console and stunnel does not fork
into background - where is the magic to get the old behaviour with 4.30?
At the end stunnel reports: daemon: No such file or directory (2)
