[stunnel-users] Problem with stunnel 4.20 on Fedora 7

[Andrew M Dunn]

I can't get stunnel to run on a freshly-installed Fedora 7 system.
It fails with "Error resolving '0.0.0.0': servname is not supported for 
ai_socktype" but the usual other causes of that error (ie. ports not
defined in /etc/services, bad settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf) are not
the culprit this time.


COMMAND LINE:

/usr/sbin/stunnel /home/amdunn/security/stunnel.conf

COMMAND OUTPUT:
