Hi,
I forgot a few things in my last msg, that were implied but not explicitly stated.
1.) I downloaded and installed stunnel-4.27. 2.) Im not running darwin ports. 3.) When I installed I entered the commands on the command line without ever touching xCode. 4.) I am running MAC OS 10.5.7. I will have to do a later install on MAC OS 10.4.11. 5.) I need to connect my laptop (test machine) to an ldap server. The ldap server is NOT running stunnel, and I have no control over the ldap server. I am wanting to create a secure connection from my machine to the target server.

Hi
I'm a newbie to stunnel.
I have a couple of questions....ok, a zillion. However I'll stick to the basics.
I found this in the archives that apply to my situation:
http://marc.info/?l=stunnel-users&m=121848237124000&w=2
I followed those instructions that Tom Shaw gave, and I can't tell whether or not this thing is installed at all. http://marc.info/?l=stunnel-users&m=121848703131936&w=2
I think that the files are in the right places. And now when I type in stunnel on the command line, I get this as a response:
2009.06.20 12:27:37 LOG7[582:2691602208]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /Users/miles/.rnd 2009.06.20 12:27:37 LOG7[582:2691602208]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /Users/miles/.rnd 2009.06.20 12:27:37 LOG7[582:2691602208]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2009.06.20 12:27:37 LOG7[582:2691602208]: PRNG seeded successfully 2009.06.20 12:27:37 LOG3[582:2691602208]: stunnel.pem: No such file or directory (2)
I suppose that's an improvement over the command line returning no response for stunnel. So I guess it installed. I have a feeling that the config file (the sample that came with) is what's causing it to respond the way that it is... However, I also see that its throwing an error about the PEM file, that it thinks that its not there. Is there any way to check to see if its pointing at the right file for the pem ? Or to use another crt file ?
Now the question becomes how the hell do I start this thing ?
(I'm running leopard [10.5.7] for test purposes, but I'll have to do this all over again for a tiger install [10.4.11]...)
Then once I get it started, how the hell do I initiate what needs doing ?
I tried this ->> stunnel -o /Users/Miles/config.lgo -c -d 80 -r 134.84.119.230:636 Which returns -> 2009.06.20 13:34:32 LOG3[738:2691602208]: -o: No such file or directory (2) Obviously its yapping about a file, in this case I'm assuming the log file where its being referenced.
Here's what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to set up a secure tunnel to an ldap server at umn.edu. I got this to work a while back but now I have to set this up from scratch....it was set up for me the last time. I wasn't paying attention and now Im kicking myself.
The example I post is running in client mode and not server mode ? I was looking at THIS page: http://radio.weblogs.com/0100683/stories/2002/03/23/settingUpStunnelUnderMac... I'm not entirely certain that what I want to do is run in client mode given what I'm wanting to do... Any help would be a great relief.
Thanks ahead of time...
Sincerely,
Miles.
