[stunnel-users] Unable to open log file

[Matt brancato]

Hi all,

Did a search but didn't see an answer so i figured i'd ask. I'm trying to
runstunnel but am having some issues. I attempt to run stunnel but i run
into an issue where it can't read the log file and then closes up. Any
ideas?

Hi all,

we have the same problem. Any known solutions for that? Double checked permissions on the log and directory. It works fine with an older version of stunnel (4.2.7) doesn't work any more with 5.2.6

any help appreciated
