netstat -ltp shows inetd is listening to port 993.
If inetd is listening on port 993 then stunnel will not be able to
bind to
that port since inetd has already bind to it.
If you will only be connecting to the inetd via stunnel then I
recommend
that you change your listening port for inetd to something else than
993 on
the inetd config itself and restart inetd. Then you change your
stunnel conf
to reflect this.
As I understood it, I was using inetd to start the stunnel session to connection from 993 to 143.
143 works. I've already tested that completely.
As a maybe related issue. If I start stunnel from the /etc/init.d script from debian -- it fails calling for a pid= to be defined. As you can see from my conf file, pid= is already defined.
