Hi,
I am trying to set up stunnel to be invoked from xinetd.d to secure pop3
access, and I'm having problems with zombie processes. It looks like
stunnel does not clean up after the pop3 session:
31679 ? Ss 0:00 xinetd -stayalive -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
32049 ? Ss 0:00 \_ stunnel /etc/pop3s/stunnel.cnf
32050 ? Z 0:00 \_ [ipop3d] <defunct>
The contents of my stunnel.cnf file is:
CAfile = /var/www/html/ca-cert.crt
CRLfile = /var/www/html/ca-crl.crl
cert = /etc/pop3s/pop3s.cert
key = /etc/pop3s/pop3s.key
verify = 2
exec = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
execargs = ipop3d
I use a non-standard port 997 for the service, so I have the line
pop3s-eXerp 997/tcp
in my /etc/services file.
The xinetd configuration file for the service is:
service pop3s-eXerp
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/stunnel
server_args = /etc/pop3s/stunnel.cnf
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
}
I have searched the net, but have not seen anybody else who have had this
problem.
Does anybody have an idea of what is causing this problem, or what I can do
to work around it?
Best Regards,
Ole Husgaard.
