Dear Scott
Your reply is really helpful. I change the relevant config file as:
setuid = 99 setgid = 99
Then the deamon and the remote connection is O.K. Thank you very much.
Best Regards,

I don't remember exactly how the latest stunnel does chroot, but a common problem is that a daemon will chroot before looking up the user and group names, and if the chroot area doesn't contain /etc/passwd and /etc/group, the lookups fail.
An easy solution is to use numeric UIDs and GIDs in your configuration.
Hope this helps,
----Scott.
