always open VPN channel
by Andrisi 15 Nov '04

15 Nov '04

I'd like to access a PC behind a firewall with VNC. I initiate a link from the PC behind the firewall. This tunnel should always be enabled. Then I use VNCClient on my home PC and connect to localhost:6000 which is linked to the firewalled PC-s VNC server port. Is it possible and if so, how? The server and client roles are a bit mixed up here....

inetd Solaris Stunnel 4.05
by Kenneth Simpson 12 Nov '04

12 Nov '04

Hi - I'm trying to get stunnel 4.05 to work under inetd on a Solaris x86 platform (and Solaris 8 on a SPARC platform.) The IMAP and POP daemons are verison 2004 from UW (or UW 2001 on a SPARC.) The IMAP client is Thunderbird 0.8. I can connect to IMAP inetd service on port 143 with Thunderbird. When I attempt to connect to IMAP on port 993, I'm presented a self signed certificate, I click OK to accept it, then Thunderbird just hangs. There's no indication in IMAP log file that I've connected - and there doesn't appear to be any indication in the stunnel log file that I've been connected to the IMAP server either. stunnel and the IMAP servers work in the standalone mode. When stunnel is running under inetd, I can telnet to port 143 and port 993. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Ken ; stunnel -version stunnel 4.05 on i386-pc-solaris2.8 FORK with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = /usr/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /usr/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/stunnel/var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds; stunnel -sockets Socket option defaults: Option Accept Local Remote OS default SO_DEBUG -- -- -- 0 SO_DONTROUTE -- -- -- 0 SO_KEEPALIVE -- -- -- 0 SO_LINGER -- -- -- 0:0 SO_OOBINLINE -- -- -- 0 SO_RCVBUF -- -- -- 32768 SO_SNDBUF -- -- -- 32768 SO_RCVLOWAT -- -- -- -- SO_SNDLOWAT -- -- -- -- SO_RCVTIMEO -- -- -- -- SO_SNDTIMEO -- -- -- -- SO_REUSEADDR 1 -- -- 0 IP_TOS -- -- -- 0 IP_TTL -- -- -- 64 TCP_NODELAY -- -- -- 0 ; inetd.conf # imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/imap/sbin/in.imapd /usr/imap/sbin/in.imapd pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/imap/sbin/in.pop3d /usr/imap/sbin/in.pop3d # imaps stream tcp nowait root /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/etc/stunnel.conf pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/etc/stunnel.conf ssmtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/sbin/stunnel /usr/stunnel/etc/stunnel.conf ; stunnel.conf # cert = /usr/openssl/certs/stunnel.pem #chroot = /usr/stunnel/var/run/ #pid=/stunnel.pid pid= setuid = nobody setgid = nogroup debug = local2.7 output = /var/adm/log/stunnel exec = /usr/imap/sbin/in.pop3d execargs = /usr/imap/sbin/in.pop3d exec = /usr/imap/sbin/in.imapd execargs = /usr/imap/sbin/in.imapd exec = /usr/lib/sendmail execargs = /usr/lib/sendmail # # end stunnel.conf # ; log file 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG5[7844:0]: stunnel 4.05 on i386-pc-solaris2.8 FORK with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/urandom 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG6[7844:0]: PRNG seeded successfully 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: Certificate: /usr/openssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: Key file: /usr/openssl/certs/stunnel.pem 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: stunnel started 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG5[7844:0]: stunnel connected from 10.0.0.15:58715 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2004.11.11 14:52:25 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 1 items in the session cache 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 client connects (SSL_connect()) 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 client connects that finished 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 client renegotiatations requested 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 1 server connects (SSL_accept()) 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 1 server connects that finished 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 server renegotiatiations requested 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 session cache hits 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 session cache misses 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: 0 session cache timeouts 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG6[7844:0]: Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(2 56) Mac=SHA1 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG6[7844:0]: Local mode child started (PID=7845) 2004.11.11 14:52:26 LOG7[7844:0]: Remote FD=7 initialized ; netstat -nr | grep 143 *.143 *.* 0 0 32768 0 LISTEN ; netstat -nr | grep 993 *.993 *.* 0 0 32768 0 LISTEN

RE: [stunnel-users] SSL Engine patch on Windows?
by Diarmuid O'Neill 11 Nov '04

11 Nov '04

Sorry Kartik, I'm not familiar with Neil Dunbar's patch, and I haven't used stunnel on Windows. Not much use...am I? ;-) Diarmuid. -----Original Message----- From: Kartik Subbarao [mailto:subbarao@computer.org] Sent: 11 November 2004 00:33 To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] SSL Engine patch on Windows? Hi Diarmuid, I saw your response to my message, but I'm not sure what to make of it :-) The problem is not that I don't have the patch -- I do have the patch and have been able to apply it to the code. (BTW the patch that you posted seems to be missing the SSLEngineOpt parameter in Neil Dunbar's patch, which is required for opensc's engine_pkcs11.dll for specifying the vendor-specific PKCS11 library). My problem is that stunnel doesn't seem to be able to have OpenSSL dynamically load the engine DLL. If someone can tell me how to compile stunnel to do this on Windows, or if someone has been able to compile stunnel with the hardware engine patch successfully on Windows and is willing to share, that'd be great.

Stunnel 4.05 engine patch
by Diarmuid O'Neill 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi, A couple of people have asked, so here's a patch that should work with stunnel-4.05. Untar the source archive. Copy the patch to the stunnel-4.05 directory. Run patch -p1<stunnel-4.05-engine.diff. Run autoconf (Beware, i have seen make funnies which i think relate to the version of automake 1.4-p2 worked for me, 1.6 did not). Now build as normal. When running ./configure, be sure to include the --enable-ssl-engine option (see ./configure --help). To enable a particular engine, include a line in your conf file "SSLEngine = myengine". Thanks, Diarmuid. <<stunnel-4.05_engine-patch.diff>> ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: [stunnel-users] How to configure Stunnel for ICMP packets?

Since my end goal was to see how additional network overhead due to security affects voice over IP (UDP), are there any other SSL enabled applications similar to Stunnel that supports UDP? (I am looking into Zebedee; however, it of course does not implement SSL.)

is stunnel 4.0.6 going to use poll() rather than select() (for more than 500/1024 clients et al) ala http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=stunnel-users&m=108238799929981&w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=stunnel-users&m=108081347531925&w=2
