I am running some tests against my stunnel configuration with Nessus. I am able to get stunnel to exit silently when I run Nessus with the Nessus TCP Scan and Weak Supported SSL Cipher Suites test. I have played with a few different options but the process consistently ends when these tests are run together. Here is the config:
