There is already something else listening on port 2525. Now I see two possibilities: - you have another stunnel instance (something else in /etc/stunnel/*.conf) that also tries to listen on port 2525 - you have another program that also tries to listen on port 2525 Could you run these two commands as root and show me their output? netstat -atpn | fgrep -e :80 fgrep -we accept /etc/stunnel/*.conf Also, when replying to my message, could you use the 'reply to all' method so that the 744...@bugs.debian.org address is kept on the Cc line? This way the messages will go to the 'bug log' in the Debian bug tracking system and others will be able to see them in the future, if they come across similar problems. Of course, if for some reason you'd like to keep the discussion private, that's also fine by me, but, to be honest, I don't see a reason for that so far :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@freebsd.org p.penc...@storpool.com PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13 If wishes were fishes, the antecedent of this conditional would be true.
