Thanks again Pierre, with V 5.03 I had installed Stunnel in a non-system directory named "bin\stunnel" in the root of the C: drive, which contained the stunnel.conf and stunnel executable files.  Permissions were set for full access by "everyone".  5.03, as a service, would still not read the CONF file.  I very much appreciate your assistance!

Hello,
You will find that in the code itself...
By default the conf file should be located in the "current" directory : ie where the executable is.

But, if you have placed the stuff in "c:\program files..." this folder may have specific access rights that prevent a service to read from it.

This is why I suggest that you retry v5.03 with giving "read access to everyone" on that folder and any file inside.

Pierre Delaage

Thanks for the reply Mike.  I scoured the documentation and was unable to find how to point the service to any specific configuration file, can you point me in the right direction?

Were you able to confirm the service is pointing at stunnel.conf and not stunnel.cfg maybe?
