[stunnel-users] Stunnel 4.26 - AIX 5.3

Hi Claus,

maybe I am wrong, but I could imagine, that this issue is related to the
behaviour that I described in my mail to this list (sent on the 10th of
January).

I guess, the initial /sbin/init is not connected to a terminal - thus the "tty"
column is always empty in your setup.
Could you try to run stunnel from a terminal instead?

Or am I completely off-track?
