Hi, I am trying to send syslog-ng error messages over stunnel My client side's stunnel.conf file is : client = yes cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem verify = 3 #verify = 1 [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 10.105.1.25:5140 My server side's stunnel.conf file is : chroot = /chroot/stunnel setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /stunnel.pid debug = mail.notice client = no #cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem #verify = 1 verify = 3 service = syslog-ng #Service-level configuration [syslog-ng] accept = 5140 connect = 127.0.0.1:514 But at runtime , I am getting the following error message at client : <syslog.err> syslog-ng[32460]: I/O error occurred while writing; fd='7', error='Broken pipe (32)' I don't understand what the number 32460 means here. If it is the port number running syslog-ng then why is it not 514 as marked in the accept parameter of the client ? Kindly let me know where to look for the bug Regards
