stunnel crashing on connect
by Kevin King 24 Jul '06

Hi, I am attempting to run stunnel on Windows XP Pro but it is crashing as soon as anything connects to it. I am using it to create a secure TLS tunnel in front of an SMTP mail server and from what I read I should be able to do this and stunnel will handle the STARTLS commands. I downloaded the following windows binary: 562589 Mar 11 13:02:35 2006 stunnel-4.15-installer.exe I made minimal changes to stunnel.conf: 1) added the line "protocol = smtp" 2) uncommented the debug lines (still crashes if I leave these lines alone) I then start stunnel, either as a service or from cmd line - same thing happens >From a command prompt I then "telnet localhost 465" and send "EHLO mydomain.com hi" Stunnel responds with "250-EHLO mydomain.com hi Welcome". I am also running hMailServer on the same machine listening on port 25. It looks like stunnel is forwarded the initial EHLO to hMailServer, then hMailServer responds correctly and stunnel forwards that response back to me. Then stunnel crashes immediatly. Following is the log: 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG6[112:1656]: PRNG seeded successfully 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: SSL context initialized for service pop3s 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: SSL context initialized for service imaps 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:1656]: SSL context initialized for service ssmtp 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG5[112:1656]: stunnel 4.15 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG5[112:1656]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG5[112:2564]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: FD 1884 in non-blocking mode 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: pop3s bound to 0.0.0.0:995 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: FD 1872 in non-blocking mode 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: imaps bound to 0.0.0.0:993 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: FD 1864 in non-blocking mode 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2006.07.20 10:28:41 LOG7[112:2564]: ssmtp bound to 0.0.0.0:465 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2564]: ssmtp accepted FD=1840 from 127.0.0.1:1543 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2564]: Creating a new thread 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2564]: New thread created 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: ssmtp started 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: FD 1840 in non-blocking mode 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG5[112:2936]: ssmtp connected from 127.0.0.1:1543 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: FD 1812 in non-blocking mode 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: ssmtp connecting 127.0.0.1:25 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: connect_wait: connected 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: Remote FD=1812 initialized 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG5[112:2936]: Negotiations for smtp (server side) started 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: RFC 2487 detected 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: <- 220 hmailserver ESMTP 2006.07.20 10:28:59 LOG7[112:2936]: -> 220220 hmailserver ESMTP + stunnel 2006.07.20 10:29:09 LOG7[112:2936]: <- EHLO mydomain.com hi 2006.07.20 10:29:09 LOG7[112:2936]: -> 250-EHLO mydomain.com hi Welcome Here is the output of stunnel -version: stunnel 4.15 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 Global options debug = 5 RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel taskbar = yes Service-level options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none 2006.07.20 10:25:04 LOG3[3256:3456]: Server is down I tried building the source and debugging it but I only found some batch files refering to the MS embedded compiler.

Which I would rather not have to do, I would like to just use the binary but it is crashing before I ever get a chance to test it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks, -Kevin

stunnel version issue?
by NobbyNoMates 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Dear all - I am trying to set up an stunnel connection on an Ubuntu Dapper box. This system seems to give me (stunnel -V) : stunnel 3.26 on i486-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005 and no matter where I look. I cannot seem to find an option to specify a config file when starting stunnel. Unfortunately, the instructions which I have received for setting up my (Direct Connect) client, contain such a config file which is supposed to be needed. It contains the following: client = yes delay = yes output = stunnel.log debug = notice pid = stunnel.pid [DC Server] connect = server.address.org:AAAAA accept = 127.0.0.1:BBBBB where of course the AAAA and BBBB are port numbers. Now I wonder if there is any way to make my stunnel version function in the specified way without the config file? Or is there some alternative way to specify this kind of config? Any suggestion would be much appreciated! Best regards, Erik

Hello. I rewrote some parts of the question, and illustrated it by a small ASCII picture to clearifiy the whole situation. I don't know why I haven't got a single answer, because over 350 people are subscribed to the list, so I hope that I'll get some help now. It would be grateful. I use SocksCap to forward the iexplore cnnections to another port, a port on which stunnel listens. On PC1, the client, stunnel is listening on port 500. So when I start iexplore.exe with SocksCap every connection goes to 127.0.0.1:500. PC1 connects to PC2, with connect = 192.168.0.2:123 On PC2, the server, stunnel listens on port 500. then is connects to the internet with connect = 127.0.0.1:80. Here is the problem, stunnel doesn't connect to the internet over 127.0.0.1:80. I don't know why, but it doesnt. ---Stunnel.conf SERVER--- .. [inet] accept = 127.0.0.1:123 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 ---Stunnel.conf CLIENT--- ..

I think i have to use something different than connect = 127.0.0.1:80 on PC2, but not sure. The version of stunnel is 4.15 I'm using Windows. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Hi, Ok, this has clarified things for me. Another question, do you have a copy of the proxy program (SocksCap ?) running on PC2? If not then this is the problem. I believe that stunnel does not itself act as a proxy. It simply acts as a tunnel. >From your description of your config I suspect that you should have a second copy of SocksCap listenening on PC2 which will forward data onto the internet. A quick example: PC1: SocksCap listening on port 8080 ( for example) forwards to 127.0.0.1:500 stunnel listening on port 500, forwarded any data to PC2 port 500 PC2: stunnel listening on port 500 forwards data to 127.0.0.1:8080 SocksCap listening on port 8080 forwards data out to the internet. This will encrypt data between PC1 & PC2 but after that it will be back in plain. In order to test this I would break it down into its individual components and test each stage. I recommend downloading netcat (http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ or google for it) and learn how to use it. Sorry I can't help you with this bit, its better if you learn it yourself - and once you have you will wonder how you ever managed without it ;) Regards Ian --

Hello! I'm tring to encript HTTP. I use two PCs, PC1 and PC2. PC1 is a client PC2 is a server. IP of PC1:192.168.0.1 IP of PC2:192.168.0.2 I use SocksCap to forward the iexplore cnnections to another port, a port on which stunnel listens. On PC1, the client, stunnel is listening on port 500. So when I start iexplore.exe with SocksCap every connection goes to 127.0.0.1:500.

connect to the internet on PC2. I think i have to use something different than connect = 127.0.0.1:80 on PC2, but not sure. I'm using Windwos.

configure/compile issue on AIX
by Boxall, John 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I'm trying to get stunnel working on AIX 5.3. I'm running the configure with "--prefix=/opt/freeware", however, when I start stunnel it is looking for the stunnel.conf file in /usr/local/etc/stunnel. Shouldn't it be looking for it in "/opt/freeware/etc/stunnel", which is where the "make install" put it? Regards, John Boxall

newbie: stunnel works but do not encrypt
by Gallas Róbert 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hello, I setup stunnel( v4.15 win32 port ) on both side, client and server. Connection is working but does not encrypt. Setup is done for ORACLE and WEB. Oracle`s listener is setup with "USE_SHARED_SOCKET = TRUE" variable and works fine with OpenSSH with PUTTY I use default configuration just with the needed basic customization: # ##Client cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = stunnel.log client = yes [web] accept = 3128 connect = 10.160.1.220:3128 [oracle] accept = 1521 connect = 10.160.1.220:4892 ### Server: cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [web] accept = 3128 connect = 10.160.0.4:3128 [oracle] accept = 4892 connect = 10.160.1.220:1521 Any good sugestions? Thanks for your answers Regards Robert

Follow-up: Bad certificate? (was Expired certificate?)
by Boxall, John 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Mike, et al, The problem I was having with stunnel on a Windows box connecting with stunnel on a Unix server (Solaris in this case) turned out to be a mis-configuration of the syslog-ng server on Unix. I took a sample syslog-ng.conf from somewhere else and didn't know the impact of "max-connections(1)". Though I assume it is intended as a limit on the number of connections to the localhost (127.0.0.1:514), it effectively limits the number of in-bound connections from remote logging clients to 1 (in this case using port 5140). Removing this parameter allowed all of my test clients to simultaneously log to the server. Mike, the OpenSSL-generated cert works fine. Thanks. Regards, John Boxall
