seg fault stunnel 4-14 on SLES10
by Jon Howse 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

Hi, I am getting a seg fault with stunnel on an installation of SLES10. This is the first SLES10 server I have set up after having set up many SLES9 servers (approx twelve) which all communicate through stunnel to a central syslog server. The version of stunnel we are using on SLES9 is: stunnel-4.05-20.1. The other machines are a mix of 32bit and 64bit Xeons. The seg fault seems to happen when syslog starts to talk through stunnel. The program is a binary rpm install for 64bit SLES10 and is being run in standalone mode as a client connecting to a stunnel/syslog server running SLES9.

4.17 stunnel with syslog-ng
by Jason Englander 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I have a logging server at home set up with syslog-ng and stunnel. Earlier this morning, I upgraded stunnel on a logging client machine from 4.15 to 4.17, no problems. I upgraded the server from 4.15 to 4.17 and stunnel seemed to hang (run, but not detach) on startup. Very long story short (it was too early, I hadn't had enough coffee yet <g>), stunnel was trying to log to syslog, which wasn't running yet. Putting aside that I should've been using "output = /var/log/stunnel.log" instead, for a log server of all things :-), did something change in stunnel or did I screw something up that I don't remember doing? My startup script has been starting stunnel, then syslog-ng for years. I haven't downgraded to verify that it does/doesn't happen starting with a particular version, but I might do that later today out of curiosity. (before fixing, upgrading "important" machines) Also, FYI - configure created a file named "6," in the source directory with this in it: no LIBS=-lz -ldl -lutil -lpthread -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto This seems to be the offending line in configure: echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6, LIBS="$saved_LIBS" -> echo "${ECHO_T}no" >&6; LIBS="$saved_LIBS" I ran 'autoreconf -f -i' (autoconf 2.60, automake 1.9.6) and the line isn't in the new ./configure any more.

cannot compile stunnel on solaris 10 in a zone
by tomvo＠absi.be 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi, I'm trying to compile stunnel on a solaris 10 (06/06 release) in a normal (non-global) zone. the compile fails at the mknod command. How do I install stunnel ? I could ofcourse create the device myself in the global zone, but i think it was in /usr/local/var/lib/stunnel/dev, I don't think that our user zone will have access to this device if we create it in the global zone. Anyone else struggled with the same problem ? thx, Tom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Van Overbeke - ABSI Service Delivery Coordinator email: tomvo(a)absi.be Tel: +32 2 333 40 00 - Fax: +32 2 333 40 60 website: http://www.absi.be ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

RE: [stunnel-users] stunnel and AJP

Any chance you could send me a sample configuration file? :) Just got it install and going to start trying to get it setup. I am going to try to end the tunnel on a BigIP box. So just set it up on the apache server and hope it can end on the BigIP box.

Works a treat :-) We've even done it with a third machine in the middle, running an stunnel server and client back-to-back. Just don't ask why!

"SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying" at 30Hz
by Vincent Lascaux 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Hi, I'm trying to use rsync (2.6.8) through STunnel (4.16) to synchronize two PC over the internet (they both have the same version of stunnel and rsync). On the server, I have STunnel running with this configuration: cert = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=0 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=0 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [rsync] accept = 273 connect = 873 On the client I have this configuration: cert = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=0 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=0 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log client = yes [rsync] accept = 873 connect = UrlOfMyServer:273 Then I connect with rsync using rsync -a -h --progress --stats --partial Account@localhost::RemotePath LocalPath I think the connection is not really stable. RSync sometimes hang. The log file on the client side show 2006.09.11 21:33:11 LOG7[2008:1468]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying at 30Hz (that's right, it means 30 times a second). My log file nearly gets bigger faster than my downloaded file ;) Is it expected? What does this line mean? I turned TCP_NODELAY to 0 thinking that it my give me synchronous sockets and that it would remove that error, but it didn't... Any help appreciated, Thanks -- Vincent
