This bug was reported in 2007, confirmed in 2008 and is still not fixed?
I can confirm this is still affecting Ubuntu 8.04:
ii stunnel4 3:4.21-1Universal SSL tunnel for network daemons
Any plans to fix this?

On Maverick the same error occurs.
It is however to do with the message before the one about the PID,
complaining of the missing SSL certificate needed to run stunnel.
A guide to certificates, and how to generate one can be found here :
http://www.stunnel.org/faq/certs.html
I guess a cert.
I got following error message at the startup of stunnel4 on karmic You
should check that you have specified the pid= in you configuration
file. I'm using stunnel for nntps (119/563).
I checked port 119 and found, that cyrus is using port 119 too:
netstat -tupan | grep ':::119'
tcp6 0
I too have had this problem for a while. Stunnel4 operates perfectly
(apart from infrequent random 100% usages requiring killing) but the
/etc/init.d/stunnel4 script reports those erroneous messages.
I think, because of that (and hence returning a failure code), apt
didn't think stunnel4 had
Reproducible in 8.04.1 and current 8.10.

I've resolved my issue simply setting ENABLED=1 instead of ENABLED=0 in the
file /etc/default/stunnel4.
Tatiana, I still don't know if your case is affected by the same issue, but my
problem now seems quite stupid. To be honest, it seems also quite stupid that
file didn't enable the service,
I don't know if my case is related to yours, because I don't have the
necessary skills to inspect the init.d script, but I cannot start
stunnel4 with sudo /etc/init.d/stunnel4 start, so neither stunnel
starts when i boot my workstation.
Instead sudo stunnel4 works perfectly.
Best regards
