[stunnel-users] Stunnel 4.26 - AIX 5.3

[Lund, Claus]

Hi Tom,

We use stunnel a lot (including on AIX). And I know that way back when, I was doing some testing with a similar setup and was never successful getting the "exec = telnetd" to work quite right when stunnel was running as a service.

I did some quick testing right now on one of our AIX boxes (using stunnel 4.22) and it doesn't work for me either. Everything looks fine when stunnel is started and the first connection comes along and works beautifully... But then stunnel dies after the connection is closed.

I assume you're using the exec = /usr/bin/telnetd option because you don't have telnetd enabled through inetd? We can't generally run telnetd either so I understand that requirement. But maybe you can get a waiver and leave it running behind a port that only accepts local connections?

Dear Users,

* I'm running Stunnel 4.26 as a service, but it dies on logoff...

* Could you tell me which one should I put comment "/* ... */" at
stunnel.c or protocol.c so I want stunnel's daemon won't stop running.

* I am using stunnel.conf, like this:
-------
pid =
cert = /usr/local/ssl/private/stunnel.pem
output = stunnel.log
[tssl]
accept = 992
exec = /usr/sbin/telnetd
-------

*stunnel.log
-------
