stunnel 4.x.x and IRIX
by Eric Haddix 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I happened upon a user here that posted a couple of months ago(I think) who used IRIX and had successfully compiled stunnel. Any chance you're still around!?!? I get one of two things. Before I apply the patch, it will crash right after startup. No logs, just dumps core. After the patch, it starts and exits immediately. I can run it with -version, etc. and it seems to work fine. Anyone had this and/or know what can be done? Eric

Stunnel sending ICMP packet at startup
by Paul Jones 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi there, I have set up Stunnel on both the server and the client. There is a firewall on the server side that only allows TCP connections through. When Stunnel is started up on the client side, the firewall is actually receiving an ICMP packet, not a TCP. Is this how Stunnel should be working? I assume it's doing a ping or something at startup. Thanks in advance. Paul _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Over 80,000 jobs across all industries at Australia's #1 job site. http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail

How to protect private key in Windows XP Home
by Andrus 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

My stunnel client must start without user intervention. So I installed stunnel in client mode in a Windows XP Home computer as XP service. In XP Proffesional I can specify that only Administrators group has access to stunnel directory. XP Home does not have security tab in folder properties. Any person working in XP Home compter can copy stunnel private key How to protect private key from copying ? Andrus. My stunnel.conf file: Cafile=server.crt cert=privkey.pem client = yes service=RDPClient verify = 2 [terminal server] accept = 83389 connect = 1.2.3.4:83389

Newbie Question
by Mark 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

I am completely new to SSL and stunnel. I need to test the differences between 4th Dimension's SSL and doing the same thing without the 4D implementation of SSL using stunnel. Can anyone please tell me where to get started? Mark Zinke

Call for Beta Testers: Tool similar to Stunnel.
by Wilfred Nilsen 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

We have designed a tool that is similar to Stunnel and we would like to know if anyone would be interested in testing the tool. A short introduction: The Barracuda HTTPS tunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. The HTTPS tunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, etc., by having the HTTPS tunnel provide the encryption. The HTTPS tunnel can also be used, for example, to tunnel traffic out from behind a restrictive firewall/proxy that only allows outgoing HTTPS web connections. The client is a Java program that can either be downloaded and started from the command prompt or started using Java Web Start. The server is BarracudaDrive. http://barracudaserver.com/examples/BarracudaDrive/ We will make the beta program (the server and client) available if anyone is interested in testing the tool and give us feedback. We are specifically interested in beta testers that are behind a restrictive company proxy. Thanks, Wilfred

Re: [stunnel-users] Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the firstconnection and not on subsequent connections
by Kevin A. McGrail 19 Nov '05

> I'd try to disable chroot and run stunnel under strace with "foreground = yes" option. Mike, When running in foreground, with or without chroot, things work as expected. Without foreground, it did not work. Two key differences on the logs for each: Output of "Cleaning up the signal pipe" prior to checking the libwrap permissions a finish line of "ssmtp finished (0 left)" instead of "ssmtp finished (-1 left)" (Yes, this is a dual processor box.) It looks like the key problem lies in the regerenation of the standalone mode. Is there a way with v4 to just use inetd to answer on port 465, negotiate and connect on port 25 on another host because perhaps that will avoid the issue.

Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the first connection and not on subsequent connections
by Kevin A. McGrail 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

Have worked on this all day without any glimmer of hope and would appreciate help and feedback! Regards, KAM # Description of your problem. What programs are on which machines, and how are they attempting to communicate. What connections are you attempting to secure in SSL. I am having problems with the regeneration of stunnel on an old but fairly reliable machine. I am switching from v3 to v4 and it works absolutely perfectly ONCE. The second time it just hangs. # What version of Stunnel you're using - remember, Stunnel 4.x doesn't take Stunnel 3.x command line options! 4.x # The list of parameters you are using for stunnel, and if you are running it standalone or from inetd/xinetd. I am running it in standalone.

Stunnel Session Hangs
by Zachariah K Zachariah 18 Nov '05

18 Nov '05

Hi folks, I use stunnel-4.12 with openssl-0.9.7g to tunnel my CVS-pserver protocols. I have set up the local stunnel client to listen to port 22400 and to forward any connections on it to the cvs server that has the server side stunnel listening on port 22401 forwarding connections to the cvs-pserver on port 2401. Having set up thus, I can do a cvs login just fine. I can watch the negotiation happening using tcpdump. However when I try to check out a module from the repository, I see some files coming through but only to eventually hang. If I <Ctrl C> and try again, more files come in but hangs before the transaction is complete. I have to do this several time in order to download all the files to my local workspace. Upon checking the logs, I find that the hang occurs immediately after the message: 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_write returned WANT_WRITE: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying I have included a snippet of the log file for reference. I have also included my stunnel.conf file. Sorry for the voluminous output. Can some one help me here?
