I removed stunnel from /etc/inetd and start it by /etc/init.d/stunnel4 which will run stunnel standalone as a daemon
For this to work under debian you need to edit /etc/default/stunnel4 and set ENABLED=1 otherwise the init.d script will stop executing. After setting ENABLED=1 it should also be started automatically when your server boots. Although inetd is preffered over standalone it was for me the only way to get it up and running at that time. Hope this helps, Kind regards, Marc
