Description Mike Hostetler 2003-07-16 08:26:48 UTC

By default, stunnel-4.04-r1 will not work out of the box because it cannot make
a pid file (since it runs as nobody:nogroup).  Also, when you shut it down, it
says it's net-snmpd, not stunnel, which really throws you off when debugging.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install stunnel
2. Start stunnel


Actual Results:  
This it in the log file
Jul 16 09:49:28 [stunnel] Cannot create pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid

Expected Results:  
stunnel should run.
