I got following error message at the startup of stunnel4 on karmic "You should check that you have specified the pid= in you configuration file". I'm using stunnel for nntps (119/563).
I checked port 119 and found, that cyrus is using port 119 too: netstat -tupan | grep ':::119' tcp6 0 0 :::119 :::* LISTEN 1504/cyrmaster I don't know why, but nntp is activated in /etc/cyrus.conf by default. Comment out the nntp service in cyrus: #nntp cmd="nntpd -U 30" listen="nntp" prefork=0 maxchild=100 After that stunnel4 started without an error. Conclusion: check if no other process is using the ports you want to use with stunnel. -- stunnel4 init.d script reports startup failures with pid=error message even when not so https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
