OK, here are step by step instructions for Mandrake 8.0. 8.1 should be trivially different. 1) Go to http://rpmfind.net and look for the latest stunnel package. The version I used is stunnel-3.20-1mdk.i586.rpm. 2) Install the package with rpm -ivh stunnel-3.420-1mdk.i586.rpm 3) Configure stunnel with: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config \ /usr/share/doc/stunnel-3.20/stunnel.cnf -out \ /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem -keyout /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem Type this on one line or exactly as printed with the \ at the end of the line (make sure no spaces follow the \ ). 4) cd to /etc/xinetd.d 5) rename swat to swat.rpmsave 6) restart xinetd with service xinetd restart 7) Run the following command: stunnel -p /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem -d 901 -l /usr/sbin/swat swat That's it! You should now be able to browse an encrypted connection to port 901 or your machine.
