From: Ant on 15 Jun 2008 02:20 Hi. I am a newbie with stunnel and news servers that use SSL connections. What am I doing wrong as shown below? I also tried shutting down the firewall via Guarddog program, but it didn't make any differences. :( $ stunnel -c -d 1119 -r news.giganews.com:563; tin -g localhost -p 1119 tin 1.9.3 release 20080506 ("Dalintober") [UNIX] (c) Copyright 1991-2008 Iain Lea. Connecting to localhost:1119... socket or connect problem Failed to connect to NNTP server localhost. Exiting... Thank you in advance. :) -- "The ants are back Ted!" --Dougal from Father Ted TV show. /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phil/Ant @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Remove ANT from e-mail address: philpi(a)earthlink.netANT ( ) or ANTant(a)zimage.com Go Los Angeles/L.A.

Exiting... It might help if you were using a slightly less prehistoric version of stunnel - v3 was already old about 5 years ago. The newer v4 does everything via stunnel.conf and mine looks like this: cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [nntps] accept = 127.0.0.1:119 connect = news.giganews.com:563 With this, you might also want the debugging options set on while you get it to work. debug = 7 output = stunnel.log To listen on a local port < 1024 you will need to run stunnel as root. -- Trevor Hemsley, Brighton, UK Trevor dot Hemsley at ntlworld dot com

Shouldn't command line parameters be enough? I searched (locate command) for stunnel.conf, but it is nowhere found. Your debugging comment gave me an idea: $ stunnel -o stunnel.log -D 7 -c -d 1119 -r news.giganews.com:563; tin -g lalhost -p 1119 $ more stunnel.log .
