Could this be syslog looping back to the console?
That's definitely possible in some sense. However, syslog is not running. Namely, $ ps aux|grep -vE "(bash|stunnel.conf|ps aux)$" gives nothing but the header row and the grep itself and /dev/log socket is not present.
However, if I produce a /dev/log socket by a syslog, the log ends there.
"logger foo" does not produce output when syslog is not running. Could stunnel simply be writing to /dev/tty? Is this expected behaviour when syslog is missing?
Anyway, if I add "syslog = no" to the config file, nothing is output. Maybe I'm misreading the docs: "Stay in foreground (don't fork) and log to stderr instead of via syslog (unless output is specified)." I wouldn't expect logs to be written to syslog when "foreground = true". I would expect logs to be appended to the "output file" and only there when "output = FILE" is used.
Best,
