Description Philipp Schulte 2003-03-28 06:59:44 UTC 
I am using stunnel to create an encrypted tunnel from localhost:110 to
mailserver:995. I used to pop my mails through this tunnel but with the new
version 3.22-r2 it no longer works altough I didn't change any part of the
configuration besides installing 3.22-r2 over 3.22-r1.

The error message on localhost is:
stunnel[11923]: Unable to get access to the SSL private key.
stunnel[11923]: SSL_get_privatekey: Peer suddenly disconnected

The error message on the mailserver is:
stunnel[14537]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected

The mailserver runs stunnel 3.22-1 (Debian package). Absolutely nothing as
changed on the mailserver side in the last months. 
I emerged stunnel-3.22-r1 and everything works fine like it used to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. /usr/sbin/stunnel -c -s $USER -d 127.0.0.1:110 -r $MAILSERVER:995
2. telnet localhost 110

Actual Results:  
stunnel closes the connection

Expected Results:  
set up the tunnel and let me pop my mails through it

Comment 1 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-13 07:29:46 UTC 
Is this still a problem?
Comment 2 Philipp Schulte 2003-06-13 07:48:52 UTC 
No, surprisingly it's not but I don't understand why. Since I reported
the bug I didn't try the stunnel-3.22-r2 anymore but when I had it
installed back then I could always reproduce the error. I just emerged
it to test again and it works fine. Strange...
Comment 3 Philipp Schulte 2003-06-14 06:59:45 UTC 
Sorry, the problem is still existent. I forgot to close down the tunnel that was established with stunnel-3.22-r1, so obviously -r2 couldn't establish a new one.
Comment 4 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-28 06:55:18 UTC 
Latest stable should be 4.04, is this still a problem on this new version?
 I've also updated the openssl dependency to fix any blinding issues. 

Re-open this bug if there still is a problem.
