Thanks Gonz. That seems to be all that was needed.

if you get this error message issue the following command to fix the permission.
# chmod 600 /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
HTH. Regards.

Getting closer. I now get-

But that doesn't make sense to me. mail.pem permissions are the same as my cert's and it works fine.
[van@mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ mail.pem -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2942 Jun 20 18:21 /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ mail.pem
[van@mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1074 Jun 1 12:30 /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt
Is the error misleading? Or what should the mail.pem perms be?

If you are using a stunnel.conf file, I would replace the '-d pop3s -r' with the absolute path to the .conf file:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
I believe command line options were typically used more in older versions, but now all configuration is done in the configuration
file.

pop3sto ipop3 port
Hello,
This is my introduction to stunnel. I've inherited control of a pop3 and imap server running Red Hat Linux 4 that I want to access via pop3s and imaps. I'm starting out with securing the pop3 since most users are using it.
I downloaded stunnel 4.20 and compiled it according to the instructions on stunnel.org.
I read the certificates section of the site and made a new .pem
file
that I named mail.pem and have in the /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ directory that /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf asks for. But when I
try to
run stunnel like in the Examples section I get :
[van@mailserver ~]$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -d pop3s -r localhost:ipop3 2007.06.20 17:59:54 LOG3[25516:3086419648]: -d: No such file or directory (2) Syntax: stunnel [<filename>] ] -fd <n> | -help | -version | -sockets <filename> - use specified config file instead of /usr/local/ etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf -fd <n> - read the config file from a file descriptor -help - get config file help -version - display version and defaults -sockets - display default socket options
I'm a little lost here. Never dealt with a .pem file before
stunnel.
I have a self-signed cert I'm successfully using for https
webmail on
the server and guessing stunnel couldn't see that, I appended my
file
'mailserver.crt' into my mail.pem file and edited stunnel.conf
so it
has
;CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/certs.pem CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
but no dice. Same result.
Trying to debug, I find 'stunnel -V' also gives the same result.
Can someone point out what's going wrong?
