[BUG] Stunnel 4.10 + xinetd : Connection reset by peer
by Eric Piel 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hello, I've upgraded to stunnel 4.10 yesterday and since this time I can't managed to get stunnel working with xinetd. I try to access a CVS server with ssl encryption. If stunnel is started as stand-alone, it works as before, but when it's started by xinetd all I get is: cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer I've attached the connection logs with 4.09 and 4.10 as well as my configuration file (which used to work for more than a year). My xinetd is version 2.3.13 (and I haven't changed it for several months). Please, let me know if I'm overlooking at something or if I can try anything to debug more in depth... Thanks in advance, Eric PS: actually the CVS is accesible from outside, so you might want to try yourself! # Sample stunnel configuration file # Copyright by Michal Trojnara 2002 setuid = root setgid = root # Authentication stuff verify = 2 CAfile = /etc/ssl/stunnel/lifl-cvs.pem # Use it for client mode client = yes #debug = 7 #output = /home/eric/busy/stunnel.log connect = cvs.lifl.fr:2405

I have compiled and installed stunnel 4.10 under Mac OS X 10.3. I want to set up stunnel to connect a non-ssl newsreader client to an ssl nntp server. The newsreader client is Unison and the server is Easynews SSL server. I don't really know how to do this. I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks Geoff ___________ PS I did various searches of the list archive and read TFM, but still need guidance! I am asked to include some details: $ /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.10 on powerpc-apple-darwin7.7.0 PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003 Global options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/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 TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds $ uname -a Darwin My-Computer.local 7.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.7.0: Sun Nov 7 16:06:51 PST 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.9.5.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.3/specs Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1640)

ldaps error "unknown protocol"
by Mike Partyka 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello, Description of problem is as follows: I have a email server package called Scalix, which when installed came with openldap. On the same server i am also running Stunnel, which is already successfully ssl wrapping imap,pop, and smtp protocols. The ldap directory is very handy for an address book internally but we also have people that will be outside the corporate lan and to provide the directory securely would be desirable so i added the lines in the stunnel.conf to wrap ldap as well. I can see the stunnel daemon listening on port 636. But when i try to connect from any ssl aware mail client, such as evolution, or entourage, i get an error indicating failure to authenticate, which i know is not really the problem because the ldap directory is anonymous read access enabled. Debug logging gives more information about what is occurring, here is the conversion when attempting to connect: 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG5[27926:1076812720]: ldaps connected from 71.4.124.200:43012 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: waitforsocket: FD=14, DIR=read 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: waitforsocket: ok 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG3[27926:1076812720]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: ldaps finished (6 left) Searching the archive is saw someone suggesting that either the ldap server or ldap client was not compiled with ssl support. I know the email clients i am trying to connect with are ssl compatible and maybe someone can set me straight here but i didn't think that the ldap server had to be ssl aware and that was the advantage of stunnel is that it can wrap services that are do not have ssl support? At any rate i believe the ldap server does have ssl support becuase i can see the binary omslapd (provided by Scalix, preceding "om" is there because Scalix is based on HP's Open Mail) links to the ssl library using the ldd command, here is the output, note the bolded line: msp1intmx01:~ # ldd /opt/scalix/bin/omslapd linux- gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libom_er.so => /opt/scalix/lib/libom_er.so

stunnel crash when multiple connections
by Debin Chen 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hi, I will appreciate greatly if you can diagnose the following crash problem: I am using stunnel 4.05, working with webserver thttpd to provide a https solution, in linux environment. First I wrote down some noticeable behavior of stunnel. 1) stunnel each time spawns a thread to handle the https connection then destroy the thread. If I browse a lot of pages, then internally a lot of thread ( or process) got created and destroyed. 2) Sometimes after a https request is completed, the thread is still there. Only following request will trigger the thread got destroyed. Normally if there is no activity, just 2 threads left. The problem: During some stress testing, such as multiple ( in my case, actually just 2 or 3) web browser simultaneously issues request to the web server in https, I found out in certain moment stunnel spawns more than 5 or 6 threads to handle the connections, sometimes it crashed without giving out any serious debug error messages. When it crashed, system resource of CPU and memory is still sufficient. Note than I already set timeoutclose=0, that should be done.

connect directly to unix domain socket?
by Marty Lamb 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hello, Sorry for the newb question, but I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found a definitive answer either way - and I doubt I'm the first to ask about this. Is there any way to connect an incoming connection directly to a unix domain socket? Some sort of service level option like: connect = /path/to/socket would be ideal, and hopefully I'm just missing something in the docs. If this is not available, I can just exec socat - but that seems like an unnecessary step. Thanks much, Marty

I'm trying to implement a secure TCP tunnel from one PC to another. I've been looking for quite some time and can't seem to find the problem. I've been following the following example of how to start a server service: stunnel -p /path/to/stunnel.pem -d pop3s -r bar:pop3 I've created a generic certificate, but I get the error: Failed to open configuration file -p What am I doing wrong??
