Hi

I am trying to set up stunnel with FIPS 140-2 compliance. I found some
discussion of this on this mailing list from many years ago, but I'm not
sure how much of that is still relevant today.

I am running Ubuntu Pro 18.04, with FIPS mode (including the userspace
modules: https://security-certs.docs.ubuntu.com/en/fips). If I simply
`apt-get install stunnel4`, I can create a config with `fips = yes`, and
when I start it up, I see this line logged:

2021.06.23 15:45:24 LOG5[ui]: FIPS mode enabled

Does this mean I am all set, without needing to compile anything from
source? In this message (from almost a decade ago), it sounds like this
might be the validation I need:

> BTW: "fips" option is only available when stunnel is built with FIPS support.
FIPS mode is also clearly logged on startup

Or do I need to build stunnel from scratch, using my local openssl
distribution?

Thanks!
