On a windows 7 home machine, with a HOSTNAME in
the stunnel conf, NO DELAY at service startup :<br>
I can start the service, then reboot, <br>
then, at first, my log file is saying ": Error
resolving 'HOSTNAME ': Neither nodename nor
servname known (EAI_NONAME)"<br>
and later, when I try to use the tunnel (and at
that time dns is working), resolving is
working...<br>
<br>
and everything is OK so....<br>
<br>
Even if dns is NOT available at startup, stunnel
504 is able to resolve "later" the remote server
hostname.<br>

So I am sorry to say that I cannot reproduce
that bug.<br>
<br>
Anyway there are many services, on a heavy
loaded machine, that can slow down the service
startup or interfere with file management :<br>
<br>
Antivirus ? try to deactivate it.<br>
Firewall : the same...<br>
any other piece of software that is not
absolutely necessary at boot time.<br>
<br>
Plus : Even if you don't use hostnames in conf
file I suggest that you try "dnscache"
dependency anyway: <br>
because you probably have hostnames in your
certificates.<br>

do a CTRL ALT DEL to

bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hello,<br>
I can tell my
patch was
adressing read
file error on
conf file, <br>
but,
unfortunately,
not at all
"dependencies
of stunnel
service at
start up",<br>
which is
likely to be
the core pb
preventing
stunnel to
start
correctly at
boot time for
people on that
thread.<br>
<br>
Michal added
explicit
dependencies
at startup,
that is
necessary to
solve that
bug. I did not
check yet its
implementation.<br>
<br>
But maybe some
services,
although
started, are
still "not
ready" when
stunnel
starts, so
that this
makes stunnel
fail.<br>
<br>
I suggest that
stunnel
checks, not
only the
availability,
but also the
"efficiency"
of the DNS
service by
trying to
resolve a well
known server.<br>
it should
retry during,
eg, 3 seconds,
and then stops
with some
reports if
failing to
resolve the
hostname,<br>
either by lack
of network, or
by lack of
answer from
the name
resolver.<br>
But...it seems
that when
having
problems at
startup, it
cannot even
log
anything....maybe
this is due to
the identity
of "system
user" of
stunnel at
that
particular
moment: user
that may have
no right to
write on the
HD.<br>
<br>
People should
check also the
installation
location of
stunnel : it
is supposed
(and have
predefined
shortcuts for
that) to be
installed
PREFERABLY in
"c:\program
files\stunnel".<br>
I recommend to
use that
location.<br>
<br>
They also
should try to
resolve by
hand the
hostnames they
put in their
stunnel conf
file, just to
be sure.<br>
<br>
On some
network or
machines,
maybe there is
a problem with
the firewall
and SOME
services
tunneled by
stunnel on
forbidden
ports.<br>
<br>
On another
hand, it
sounds strange
that just
restarting
stunnel (in
user mode or
service mode
?) is solving
the problem :<br>
this sounds
like
unavailability
of DNS at
startup.<br>
<br>
I did not
investigate
that
particular
problem, but I
will perform
some tests
soon with the
last 504 (or
505).<br>
<br>
Yours
sincerely<br>

Using Stunnel

<br>
During August
of 2014 I
reported in
this forum the
current
version of
Stunnel would
not function
as a service
under the
above OS, even
if using a
delayed start,
it might run
but it would
not work.� I
reverted to
using version
4.35, which
did work
properly.<br>
<br>
Pierre DeLagge
was kind
enough to
provide me
with a copy of
his patched
Stunnel 5.02,
which I am
still using
and which is
working
flawlessly on
my production
servers.� No
delayed start
required.<br>
<br>
I am wondering
if Pierre's
5.02 patch has
been
incorporated
into the most
recently
released
Stunnel,
5.04?� Has
anyone been
successful in
getting the
most current
version to
actually work
under the
above
environment
without
delaying the

<br>
Just to add a
little color
and background
to the story,
I am using the
native

each machine,
in conjunction
with Stunnel,
