Hello Everyone, I tried it on 4.3.3 as well with my re-compiled version ... below are all 5 lines in the log file. stunnel 4.16 on powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv4 stunnel connected from 127.0.0.1:37690 remote socket: Addr family not supported by protocol (66) Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket I have been using this for a while but I had to transfer to a new machine (AIX 4.3 to 5.3) and had to recompile my software and get a newer stunnel. My version is stunnel-3.8p4: I thought it might be related to ipv4 versus ipv6 ... according to AIX documentation I had it set up for ipv4. I tried ipv6 for ducks, no difference. My inetd.conf line is: visanet stream tcp nowait root /visanet/ssl/stunnel stunnel /visanet/ssl/visanet.conf My .conf file is: output = /tmp/stunnel.log debug = 5 RNDfile = /visanet/ssl/stunnel.rnd RNDoverwrite = yes client = yes connect = ssllab.pgs.wcom.net:443 sslVersion = SSLv2 cert = /visanet/ssl/stunnel.pem EGD = /etc/egd-pool My guess is that this is something really stupid I am doing, but it is not obvious. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Eric This email sent by: Eric S.
