Package: stunnel4 Version: 4.070-3 I'm using stunnel4 to create a vpn between two hosts in different parts of the Net using PPP. When the PPP interface goes up, pppd runs /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0stunnel4 which kills the currently running stunnel and restarts it (which drops the PPP connection immediately).
The client stunnel config:
client = yes
debug = 7
connect = somewhere.example.com:4567
exec = /usr/sbin/pppd
execargs = pppd debug call vpn
pty = yes
The server stunnel config:
cert = /etc/stunnel/somewhere.example.com.pem
pid = /var/run/stunnel4/stunnel.pid
debug = 7
output = /var/log/stunnel4/stunnel.log
[vpn]
accept = 4567
exec = /usr/sbin/pppd
execargs = pppd file /etc/ppp/options.vpn
pty = yes
I'll echo the comments made in bug #271006 - the script is doing the
wrong thing. It can't get enough information to know when to do the
right thing. It might be good for some users to shutdown stunnel
when a ppp interface goes down but in general it's bad to restart
daemons unless there's a specific error condition (or package
upgrade, etc).
Nick.
