Hi, I have problem with stunnel. I like to create stunnel on my server. I want to create SSL connection on IRCD server. I am using UnrealIRCD. I have installed Stunnel 4.07 and OpenSSL 0.9.7e. I have created certificates. I use this command stunnel -c -d 6668 -r irc.myserver.sk:6697 and then when I run ircd then display me thist error:
[Mon Jan 24 18:27:49 2005] - Error binding stream socket to IP 0.0.0.0 port 6668 - irc.myserver.sk[]:Address already in use
Can you help me ? thanks

Sounds like... wait for it.... the address is already in use.
That means you have something listening on it, and Stunnel can't bind it.

This message means that there is some other program on your machine that is already listening on port 6668. You can find out which one it is by several means: - under recent versions of Linux, try netstat -atnp | egrep -e '6668.*LISTEN' - under most BSD's, try sockstat -4l | fgrep :6668 - under pretty much all OS's, install lsof, then run lsof -nP -i 4:6668
