[stunnel-users] Help please - debug and random file

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Thanks for the reply ...

No "accept" ... I suppose I should have mentioned I am running it 
from inetd.conf just passing in the .conf file.

I do have the latest and greatest "stable" openssl library.  Not 
overwriting the RND files does keep it intact ... so now stdout just gets:

2006.10.02 12:02:05 LOG7[29958:1]: Snagged 64 random bytes from 
/visanet/ssl/stunnel.rnd 


Nothing else at all :-(
