I'm trying to get stunnel working on AIX 5.3. I'm running the configure with "--prefix=/opt/freeware", however, when I start stunnel it is looking for the stunnel.conf file in /usr/local/etc/stunnel. Shouldn't it be looking for it in "/opt/freeware/etc/stunnel", which is where the "make install" put it? Regards, John Boxall

Hi John, Try to softlink the files eg. Option 1: # mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/stunnel # ln -s /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf remember that the path's specified in your stunnel.conf file will be relitave to the configuration file path. Option 2: U can always invoke the daemon with a path to the config file...eg. # stunnel /opt/freeware/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf BTW, why don't u just use the default install path to install the files? If you worrying about finding the files Stunnel installed, I can always give you a heads up on where to look if you want to delete or alter something Regards Craig

Make sure to "make clean" after you change ./configure options. Best regards, Mike

It looks like it is my turn to apologize. After specifying a "--prefix" value, stunnel was complaining about the values in stunnel.conf file that I had forgotten to change. Once changed, everything is fine. To Craig: All of the IBM-supplied GNU and non-GNU freeware utilities are stored in "/opt/freeware" and I was just going along with that convention. PS. Mike, I am very impressed with stunnel. Keep up the great work! Regards, John Boxall

Glad you came right ;) Regards, Craig
