My current compile-install-configure-run environment is broken with 4.30. Up to 4.29 stunnel is working ok for me. 4.30 compiles, installs but when running it (i simply start /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel) the behaviour is completely different. Up to version 4.29 the program simply starts and logs to syslog: root@bongo opt]# /opt/ssl/bin/stunnel root@bongo opt]# grep stunnel /var/log/maillog Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: stunnel 4.29 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG6[31985:16384]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG5[31985:16384]: 500 clients allowed Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 11 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: imaps bound to 0.0.0.0:993 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 12 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: pop3s bound to 0.0.0.0:995 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: arcorpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3003 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: bnvhpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3004 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 15 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: netidpop3 bound to 127.0.0.1:3005 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: FD 16 in non-blocking mode Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31985:16384]: icybolt bound to 127.0.0.1:3006 Jan 27 21:38:25 bongo stunnel: LOG7[31991:16384]: Created pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid With 4.30 i get lots of messages to the console and stunnel does not fork into background - where is the magic to get the old behaviour with 4.30?

Stunnel 4.3 not forwarding to server socket
by Vladimir Stariradev 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Dear Stunnel users, I'm running stunnel on my server which accepts connections from my mobile phone emulator (j2me) like so: midlet app -> port:5555 stunnel -> port:6666 server. My midlet, which can be treated as a java app, uses ssl://127.0.0.1:5555 to connect to stunnel. I can establish a connection between the stunnel and the app because I can get information on the certificate. The problem is that when I send data from the midlet to the server, the server doesn't accept it, nor does it signal that anything has been received even when I have double-checked that the streams are setup. I have pasted my config and log files below. Any suggestions are fully appreciated.

need to restart stunnel if stunnel starts before network?
by Zhang Weiwu 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello. One reason to opt for stunnel instead of ssh -L to secure a local non-ssl client is, that if user use stunnel, it can work transparently, start working only when a connection is listened, so user do not have to start ssh-L before using the client and do not have to shut it down after using the client. However these days through the use of NetworkManager, the network interfaces are often not brought up when stunnel started as a system service. Instead, the network interfaces are brought up by users, in case of wifi or wan, after user typed password. I found I have to first start network interfaces, and run /etc/init.d/stunnel restart to prepare to run the insecure client. Is there a way to run in stunnel in such a way it does nothing except listening, and can recover from network restart, which happens from time to time for road warriors like me? Thanks in advance. I didn't find answer on FAQ by the way.

Is PSK supported with openssl-1.0.0-beta3 ?
by anders nilsson 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello I am running x64 Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 and installed OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta3 15 Jul 2009 My stunnel -version is: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 I would like to run the ciphers TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA or TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and I wonder how I do that. My stunnel.conf contains: ciphers = PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA:PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA and the error I get is: 2009.11.05 11:32:32 LOG3[29268:47461015826624]: SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list: 1410D0B9: error:1410D0B9:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list:no cipher match Do I compile in the latest OpenSSL to stunnel? Isnt it a problem that the stunnel.conf does not even have the syntax to read PSK-key parameters since its most often run with RSA keys. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Gör det enklare för dina vänner att se vad du håller på med på Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/sverige/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/socia…
