Does stunnel insist on logging? It it wants to log to a directory that doesn't exist it would seem that all you have to do is create the directory and set the permissions correctly. (Unless it is using the syslog facility which would probably want a file stub to be present to append to.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Karin Lagesen <karin@ii.uib.no> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 10:24 AM Subject: stunnel, fetchmail and pop3 > I am currently trying to set things up so that I can fetch my mail from my > mailbox at my uni securely.
