I am currently trying to set things up so that I can fetch my mail from my mailbox at my uni securely. I am currently running 4.2-RELEASE. What I am doing/have done is the following: First of all I installed stunnel-3.14 via porteasy with the options -aub. AFAIK, this should also install any cryptografic stuff that it needs? The reason for my asking is that www.stunnel.org claims that the program also needs OpenSSL or SSLeay, and I couldn't see anything like that on the depends listing.... Secondly I am trying to get stunnel to start up during startup. The program comes with a script that is supposed to go in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ directory. From the man page it looks like that anything in that directory ending in .sh will be run at startup. Is this correct? Third, the command that I'm trying to start from that script is as follows (mail.server here being the ip of my pop3 mail server): /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -c -d 110 -r mail.server:995 From what I can see, this should be correct. However, it wouldn't surprise me if I have misunderstood something in this...:) When I tried running this command as root (with -f to get it to foreground) was: miranda# /usr/local/sbin/stunnel -f -c -d 110 -r mail.server:995 LOG5[4174:134582272]: Using 'mail.server:995' as tcpwrapper service name LOG5[4174:134582272]: stunnel 3.14 on i386--freebsd4.2 PTHREAD+LIBWRAP LOG3[4174:134582272]: Argument to -P (/var/run/stunnel/) is not valid a directory name. miranda# Can anyone explain? stunnel does not seem to be running on my machine after this... Lastly, I would like to fetch my mail through this should-be working tunnel. I have heard that the way to do this after setting up stunnel as above would be to poll your localhost at port 110. Is this correct? There is also an ssl option, but I could not understand how all of that should be set up...:) Thanks in advance, Karin -- Karin Lagesen, karin@ii.uib.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
