[stunnel-users] OpenSSL - write:errno=131

[Andrzej Marecki]

I managed to compile and install stunnel 4.06 under Solaris 2.6.

(BTW, I use here the word "managed" becuase it was not straightforward: the
up-to-date version - 4.07 - wouldn't compile under Solaris.)

My stunnel.conf file reads:

 cert=/opt/etc/stunnel/pop3.pem
 chroot = /opt/var/stunnel/
 setuid = nobody
 setgid = nogroup
 pid = /stunnel.pid

 output=/var/log/stunnel.log
 client = no

 [spop3]
 accept  = localhost:995
 connect = localhost:110

 [ssmtp]
 accept  = localhost:465
 connect = localhost:25
--------------

/opt/etc/stunnel/pop3.pem has been set up according the instructions at:

http://www.freebsd.hello.pl/files/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5

...so I do hope it's OK ;-).

Anyway, stunnel daemon works - what I get in stunnel.log reads:

stunnel 4.06 on sparc-sun-solaris2.6 PTHREAD+POLL with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004
29 clients allowed

(Date & time of the messages quoted above are omitted.)

Now I try to test stunnel:

#/opt/bin/openssl s_client -connect localhost:995 -prexit

...and what I get is:

CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=131
---
no peer certificate available
---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 0 bytes and written 148 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
---------------

I get the same when "openssl s_client -connect localhost:995" is issued by
a non-privileged user. Needless to say I can't connect to port 995 using
a bone fide MUA running on a PC under M$W (Thunderbird to be exact).

Can you help me, please.

Andrzej
