New subject: Trying to get stunnel to work for forwarding pop3sto ipop3 port

21 Jun 2007


      Getting closer. I now get-
[van@mailserver ]$ sudo stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf  
localhost:ipop3
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
But that doesn't make sense to me. mail.pem permissions are the same  
as my cert's and it works fine.
[van@mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /usr/local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2942 Jun 20 18:21 /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ 
mail.pem
[van@mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1074 Jun  1 12:30 /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt
Is the error misleading? Or what should the mail.pem perms be?

If you are using a stunnel.conf file, I would replace the '-d pop3s  
-r'
with the absolute path to the .conf file:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
I believe command line options were typically used more in older
versions, but now all configuration is done in the configuration file.

Subject: [stunnel-users] Trying to get stunnel to work for forwarding
pop3sto ipop3 port
Hello,
This is my introduction to stunnel. I've inherited control of a  
pop3 and
imap server running Red Hat Linux 4 that I want to access via pop3s  
and
imaps. I'm starting out with securing the pop3 since most users are
using it.
I downloaded stunnel 4.20 and compiled it according to the  
instructions
on stunnel.org.
I read the certificates section of the site and made a new .pem file
that I named mail.pem and have in the /usr/local/etc/stunnel/  
directory
that /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf asks for.  But when I try to
run stunnel like in the Examples section I get :
[van@mailserver ~]$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -d pop3s -r
localhost:ipop3
2007.06.20 17:59:54 LOG3[25516:3086419648]: -d: No such file or
directory (2)
Syntax:
stunnel [<filename>] ] -fd <n> | -help | -version | -sockets
     <filename>  - use specified config file instead of /usr/local/
etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
     -fd <n>     - read the config file from a file descriptor
     -help       - get config file help
     -version    - display version and defaults
     -sockets    - display default socket options
I'm a little lost here. Never dealt with a .pem file before stunnel.
I have a self-signed cert I'm successfully using for https webmail on
the server and guessing stunnel couldn't see that, I appended my file
'mailserver.crt' into  my mail.pem file and edited stunnel.conf so it
has
;CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/certs.pem CAfile =
/usr/local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
but no dice. Same result.
Trying to debug, I find 'stunnel -V' also gives the same result.
Can someone point out what's going wrong?
-Van
