hi, i'm having difficulties using the stunnel program. I've got some help to change the syntax from 3.X to 4.X but it doesn't work. I've got this config file -> client=yes output=/var/log/stunnel.log [ldaps] accept=localhost:389 connect=192.168.1.101:636 I run it with /usr/sbin/stunnel ./stunnel.conf -> check background: ps -ef | grep stunnel root 3270 ..... /usr/sbin/stunnel ./stunnel.conf Problem is when i close on server gate 389 i can't get any input. I expect the traffic going towards port 636 on server but it doenst. I can close port 636 and open just 389. He keeps sending everyting towards 389. I also tried to create a stunnel.conf by using make stunnel.conf in the tools directory ( in you tar.gz ) but nothing changes. /var/log/stunnel.log says -> date : stunnel 4.05 on i386-red hat .... with openssl 0.9.7a ->date : FD_SETSIZE=1024 file ulimt=1024 -> 500 clients allowed any input for my problem. It's kinda important. I'm really fed up with the tutorials which shows it works and everything always fails at my place :( greetz christof
