Definition of accept/local/remote sockets
Is there a clear definition of what stunnel defines as the accept, local, and remote sockets below?
socket = a|l|r:OPTION=VALUE[:VALUE] Set an option on accept/local/remote socket
From: http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html It seems to me that the accept and local socket would be the same thing. Thanks, Dave

David, I think the "accept sockets" are the ones you pass to listen(), the "local sockets" are the ones you get from accept() and the "remote sockets" are the ones you pass to connect(). That is, the "accept sockets" are to wait for connections. The "local sockets" carry encrypted data in server mode and plain data in client mode, and the "remote sockets" carry plain data in server mode and encrypted data in client mode.

This is correct.
