[stunnel-users] _GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol

Hi. I'm so close to having a working loghost, with stunnel encrypted connections.

Not close enough however.

I have syslog-ng setup to log to 127.0.0.1:5515 on all clients.

The client config:

[syslogngs]
accept = 127.0.0.1:5515
connect = 192.168.1.7:5514

On the loghost, stunnel listens on *.5514 and forwards to connection to
127.0.0.1:5515 (which syslog-ng is listening on).

(server config):

[syslogngs]
accept = 192.168.1.7:5514
connect = 127.0.0.1:5515

I'm making an assumption that the certificates are working, as I'm
using (or attempting to use) both client and server authentication.

Watching the stream with a packet sniffer shows absolutely no connections
between the client and the loghost. Strings such as this appear in the 
stunnel.log repeatedly:

Have I made some glaring error that I'm not aware of?

thanks
