[stunnel-users] Config was working. Now it isn't after reboot

[Lee Savidge]

I just reinstalled stunnel the latest version. When running I went through
the creation of the pem file. I put in UK for the country code and the
company name and put a . for everything else. It finished, I start the GUI
and it works. I edited the config file to comment out the gmail IMAP
section and reload it and it was fine.

I rebooted, now it tells me tehre is an error in the config file.

Why?

I keep getting this problem. Rebooting seems to break the config somehow.
Log shows this when stunnel starts:

The config file contains this:

debug = debug
output = stunnel.log

[gmail-pop3]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:110
connect = pop.gmail.com:995
verifyChain = yes
CAfile = ca-certs.pem
checkHost = pop.gmail.com
OCSPaia = yes

[gmail-smtp]
client = yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:25
connect = smtp.gmail.com:465
verifyChain = yes
CAfile = ca-certs.pem
checkHost = smtp.gmail.com
OCSPaia = yes

I have pasted in only the stuff that isn't commented out.

Why does this not work after a reboot? It makes no sense.
