stunnel and hosts.allow
by Yousef Alhashemi 05 Jul '16

05 Jul '16

Hi, This may be a little bit off-topic, but does anyone here use stunnel with pan? My connections to stunnel (in pan) are always refused by libwrap. I was looking for the right rule to add to /etc/hosts.allow but nothing seems to work aside from "ALL : ALL" (which is obviously not good) and "nntps: KNOWN". Is the latter reasonable? The hosts_access(5) manpage is confusing to say the least. It mentions that daemon (the first token on any line) is the name of the daemon running the process, which would be "stunnel" in my case, but using "stunnel : LOCAL" or even "stunnel : ALL" doesn't work. The rule that seems to work, as mentioned, is "nntps : KNOWN" ("nntps" being the group name in stunnel.conf). What's even more confusing to me is that "nntps : LOCAL" does not work either. Nor does "nntps : localhost 127.0.0.1", "nntps : localhost", "nntps : 127.0.0.1", or "nntps : 192.168.1.". Pan is running on the same machine as stunnel so all connections must be coming from localhost. Why do these rules not trigger? Either way, I'd like to know the "least permissive" hosts.allow rule that would allow me to connect to my news provider from pan, and/or whether "nntps : KNOWN" is a safe option. Thanks, Yousef

Timeouts and inetd mode
by Bruce Guenter 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Hi. As far as I can tell, if stunnel is running in "inetd mode", at least TIMEOUTbusy does not work. In particularl, stunnel will never timeout waiting for the SSL handshake to complete. If I'm reading the sources right, this is because the code to set up the SSL session calls SSL_accept before checking for data on stdin, and stdin is never set to non-blocking mode (only newly created sockets and/or pipes are). Would it make sense to set stdin (and stdout) to non-blocking mode when timeouts are enabled? Something in init_local maybe? -- Bruce Guenter <bruce(a)untroubled.org> http://untroubled.org/

SNI with wildcard certificates
by Gustavo Machado 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi, I would like to use SNI in combination with wildcard certificates. I currently have the following configuration: [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 cert = C:\default.pem key = C:\default.key ;SNI Config ;========== [https_a] sni = https:one.org connect = 80 cert = C:\a.pem key = C:\a.key [https_a_wc] sni = https:*.one.org connect = 80 cert = C:\b.pem key = C:\b.key If I go to https://one.org then I can see a.pem in the browser. If I go to https://mysubdomain.one.org I see default.pem. What am I missing?? Thanks! Gustavo

Chain pem files
by Gustavo Machado 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi guys, Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following configuration for an HTTPS endpoint: [https_one] sni = https:one.org connect = 44300 cert = D:\node\https\default.crt key = D:\node\https\default.key It works wonders, however I need to provide to this configuration two more .pem files for "chain". How would go about doing that? Thanks, Gustavo

Stunnel blocks booting process when no network connectivity
by Muschi Stevenson 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

My stunnel implementation works fine when the network is plugged in but it does not start at all, which stops the whole boot process, when there is no network connected on the machine (as a client). As extra information: - I'm using "delay=yes" - I'm using an fqdn (e.g: stunnel.mydomain.com) for the connections - Using stunnel 4.53 - Using ubuntu 12.04 but this also happened with centos5 previously however after some time it did boot on centos which doesn't happen in ubuntu How can this be avoided or a timeout specified? Doing an strace as suggested by symcbean shows the following (including the last part where it hangs): [...] --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 0 close(3) = 0 wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6039 clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7ff9ce0c79d0) = 6046 wait4(-1, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6046 --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- rt_sigreturn(0x11) = 6046 write(1, "[Started: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.c"..., 37) = 37 write(1, "stunnel.\n", 9) = 9 exit_group(0) = ? [...] stunnel hangs in this line: wait4(-1, and when i plug in the network cable it continues to show [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 6046 Any help would be appreciated as this is critically blocking our deployment http://serverfault.com/questions/429072/stunnel-delaying-boot

"Broken pipe" issue
by Kai M. Becker 20 Sep '12

20 Sep '12

Hi :) although several postings state that this issue has been fixed, I'm still getting this error message: Error detected on SSL (read) file descriptor: Broken pipe (32) OS: OpenSuSE 11.4 stunnel: 4.53 The original problem for taking a closer look though, are hanging incoming connections. I.e. a https request is not forwarded to the backend application, but hangs somewhere in limbo. My current workaround are TIMEOUT* settings to kill these connections. Does anyone have some suggestions how to solve these issues? Kai -- == Kai M.
