help with stunnel going back through firewall

2000-09-20 Thread Theodore Hope
I'm trying to set up stunnel (3.8p4) between to BSDI (BSD/OS) boxes. One of the boxes ("Local") is behind a firewall and gets NAT'ed when talking to the world, and the other one ("Remote") is directly connected to the world. My goal is to set this up such that one can initiate a tcp connection t

Sorry if this is sort of off-topic, but can anyone say what other products OpenSSL "competes" with out there, other than RSA's BSAFE products? Aside from the fact that OpenSSL is free and open-source (just two minor details ;->), why should anyone use it instead of BSAFE or other products (which

I just build OpenSSL 0.9.5, standard, on Solaris (SunOS) 5.6. When I run "openssl s_client -connect www.foo.bar:443" I get this: unable to load 'random state' This means that the random number generator has not been seeded with much random data. Consider setting the RANDFILE environment varia
