[stunnel-users] Trying to get stunnel to work for forwarding pop3sto ipop3 port

[Van]

Getting closer. I now get-

[van at mailserver ]$ sudo stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf  
localhost:ipop3

2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
2007.06.21 11:51:27 LOG4[15899:3086476992]: Wrong permissions on /usr/ 
local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem

But that doesn't make sense to me. mail.pem permissions are the same  
as my cert's and it works fine.

[van at mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /usr/local/etc/stunnel/mail.pem
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 2942 Jun 20 18:21 /usr/local/etc/stunnel/ 
mail.pem

[van at mailserver change_passwd]$ ls -al /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1074 Jun  1 12:30 /etc/httpd/certs/www.crt

Is the error misleading? Or what should the mail.pem perms be?
