Hello Mark,
This tutorial was already obsolete in 2007 when it was being created. 
Stunnel from version 4.0 uses the config file.
So, you should  find an example configuration file named 
stunnel.conf-sample and rename it to stunnel.conf. After saving of the 
necessary changes in the stunnel.config file you can run stunnel.

Regards,
Małgorzata
