Bug 107484 – net-misc/stunnel init script cannot stop stunnel process in chroot environment

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Denny Page 2005-09-28 01:48:13 UTC]

If a chroot directory is defined in /etc/stunnel/stunnel.con, the pid file for
stunnel is created inside the chroot environment.  However the init script does
not take this into account when stopping the stunnel process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a chroot variable in /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
2. /etc/init.d/stunnel start
3. /etc/init.d/stunnel stop

Actual Results:  
The stunnel process continues to run.

Expected Results:  
Track the chroot variable in the config file in order to properly locate the pid.

I'd really like to have this patch include in current stunnel ebuild. Please (re)think about appling it.

Thanks

fix init.d script

The given patch doesn't work. So I've changed the init.d script to stop process by name and not by PID.

This should be fixed in stunnel-4.27-r1. Let me know if it doesn't fix it!
