[stunnel-users] Client certificates now required by default?

[Wiest, Damian]

After building stunnel 5.34 from source I noticed that my old config
(5.22) was not working.

[dwiest at 716161-compute2 ~]$ sudo ./stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

But I haven't enabled client certificate verification!

[dwiest at 716161-compute2 ~]$ sudo grep verify /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
; verify = 2

I have to explicitly set verify to 0 or 1 in order to connect without
a client cert.

Is this intentional?  The documentation suggests that by default no
verification should be taking place.
