unexpected shutdown of stunnel

Hello, I use Freebsd and made an update from stunnel 4.8 to stunnel 4.10 from the ports today. Now I noticed that stunnel stops after a while.

Problems with stunnel 4.10 compilation
by Oleg Ivanov 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hello. I've compiled stunnel 4.10 without any problems on my Gentoo workstation and RedHat server. But now I need to install it into my old legacy Mandrake 8.2 server and here I've got into troubles. I've updated zlib and openssl (configuring it with "zlib" option) to their latest versions, then tried to make stunnel and got following errors: --- /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zlib_compress_block': c_zlib.o(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `compress' /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zz_uncompress': c_zlib.o(.text+0x145): undefined reference to `inflateInit_' c_zlib.o(.text+0x159): undefined reference to `inflate' c_zlib.o(.text+0x16c): undefined reference to `inflateEnd' c_zlib.o(.text+0x18b): undefined reference to `inflateEnd' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [stunnel] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 --- It seems like problems with zlib so I've double-checked it - but zlib 1.2.2 is really installed. If I recompile openssl without "zlib" option then I can make stunnel but it can't initialize zlib compression algorithm that I really need. And if I compile openssl with zlib - stunnel fails on make with errors. Can anyone help with it please? I really stuck 8( PS: My system's parameters according to support page requirements: # uname -a Linux localhost 2.4.27-vs1.29 #2 SMP Tue Oct 5 15:51:37 CDT 2004 i686 unknown glibc version: 2.2.4 # gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk) # openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005 Best Regards, Oleg Ivanov. -- Oleg Ivanov mailto: saruman(a)unigsm.com

Connection details patch for 4.10
by Oleg Ivanov 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hello. I've modified the old "conndetails_peter" patch by Peter D. Gray to let it work with stunnel 4.10. I've also added to it information about compression (available compression methods and negotiated method). Patch creates a file "conn.LOCAL_HOST:LOCAL_PORT" in a configurable temp directory (config file: "infodir" option). The file is deleted when the client disconnects. Full description of original can be found at: http://www.stunnel.org/patches/desc/conndetails_peter.html Hope it will be useful for someone.

syslog on Solaris2.9
by Geoff LeBoldus 13 May '05

13 May '05

I can't seem to get stunnel-4.10 to log properly to syslog. Stunnel logs the startup, but doesn't log any individual tunnel information. If I specify its own file and debug = 7, it logs everything as expected. I've tried a number of different configuration combinations without success. Any thoughts?

Session Reuse Information for Stunnel
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 11 May '05

I know that Stunnel reuses sessions. Can anyone tell me the default time that stunnel reuses the old session. And to set a value for session timeout do I use the option: session = timeout session cache timeout Thanks, Vasudha. -------------------------------------------- Vasudha Upadhyaya Convergys Speech Solutions Ph:703-885-5837 vasudha.upadhyaya(a)convergys.com -- "NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by Convergys Corporation for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.

zlib compression
by Oleg Ivanov 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello. I have installed stunnel 4.09 both as client (on my computer) and as server (on server). Both has zlib compression enabled and I can see that zlib initializes properly in the logs (it says "Compression enabled using zlib method"). But when I send any data over that tunnel I can't see any signs of compression - amount of traffic is almost the same as over plain connection. Am I doing something wrong? Or I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this compression ability? And if the traffic indeed must be reduced - why I can't see that and how can I make it work properly? Thank you for your answers. Best Regards, Oleg Ivanov. -- Oleg Ivanov mailto: saruman(a)unigsm.com

connect ip = accept ip on multihomed server ?
by Dennis Spreen 09 May '05

09 May '05

hi all, with a configuration (stunnel4.10) like this [conc1] accept = 100 connect = 99 stunnel accepts all requests on all ips on port 100 but connects with the localhost to port 99. is it possible to configure stunnel that if it accepts a connection on 1.2.3.4:100 it connects to 1.2.3.4:99 ? I know it is possible to use accept = 1.2.3.4:100 connect = 1.2.3.4:99 .... accept = 1.2.3.250:100 connect = 1.2.3.250:99 but i'm on a c-class and that would require about 250 entries in the config file. Is there a better way to do this? regards dennis

Problems in Stunnel4.10
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi, We have been using stunnel 4.05 and recently downloded the stunnel 4.10 and deployed in our environmrnt. All the traffice is going via the Load Balancer Cisco CSS with SSL Module to the unix server(with stunnel4.10 on them). We also 4.10 deployed on the Windows2000 as a client. The CSS sends keep Alives to check the health of the servers(whether they are up or not).And I guess due to this the stunnel on unix servers crashes immediately and there is a access violation error. Attached is the truss output for one of the unix servers.Stunnel4.10 was compiled using OpenSSL0.97d and OpenSSL0.97g, and still we get the same problem.Attached is the stunnel.conf also.[attachment "stunnel.conf" deleted by Vasudha Upadhyaya/CCMG/CVG] (See attached file: truss.out) (See attached file: stunnel.conf) Thanks, Vasudha. -------------------------------------------- Vasudha Upadhyaya Convergys Speech Solutions Ph:703-885-5837 vasudha.upadhyaya(a)convergys.com -- "NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by Convergys Corporation for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.

Newbie windows user needs help patching/compiling with mingw
by Geoff Elmer 04 May '05

04 May '05

Can anyone point me to some documentation on how to use mingw to patch and make stunnel? Specifically, I want to apply connect-proxy_dunbar.patch to v4.05 source and compile it. As I am not really a coder (yet) and am not yet very *nix knowledgeable, any help would be much appreciated. Situation is: I am trying to traverse a MS ISA server (running as a proxy) and the v4.10 stunnel doesn't allow me to specify a proxy to route thru. Thanks in advance, Geoff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250
