Getting closer. I now get-
[van@mailserver ]$ sudo stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
localhost:ipop3
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
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?
