Hi

 

   I am using stunnel 3.26 on i386 redhat -linux-gnu with PTHREAD+LIBWRAP  with openssl  0.9.6b engine  I am getting the following error when try to use stunnel to a remote ipadress on specific port

 

Lets say the remote ip address be   a.b.c.d and port P1 and local ipaddess e.f.g.h and port P2

 

e.f.g.h:P2  ------> a.b.c.d:P1

 

my logs say  that

a.b.c.d:p1 started

a.b.c.d:p1 connected  from 127.0.0.1:xxxxx

a.b.c.d:p1 connecting a.b.c.d:p1

remote connect: connection refused (111)

failed to initialize remote  desccriptor

abcd:p1 finished (0 left)

 

 

I do not understand why after connecting from local host to a.b.c.d , a.b.c.d tries to reconnect to itself.  I have the same setup in another server, it works fine. This one was working fine, until i rebooted the machine.

 

Regards

Arun A
