1. Topic:

Updated stunnel packages are available for Red Hat Linux 7.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.0 – alpha, i386

3. Problem description:

When invoked in daemon mode (that is, without the -l or -f
flags), stunnel will attempt to log its process ID to a file in the
/var/stunnel directory, which does not exist. This errata changes
the default directory used for PID files to /var/run.

4. Solution:

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla
for more info):

22623 – wring path with updates stunnel-3.9-1

6. RPMs required:

Red Hat Linux 7.0:

SRPMS:
ftp://updates.redhat.com//7.0/SRPMS/stunnel-3.10-2.src.rpm

alpha:
ftp://updates.redhat.com//7.0/alpha/stunnel-3.10-2.alpha.rpm

i386:
ftp://updates.redhat.com//7.0/i386/stunnel-3.10-2.i386.rpm

7. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name

0e943be9f9a0ff7a217519a499a48520 7.0/alpha/stunnel-3.10-2.alpha.rpm
e9acfce5f6d708d2e648e0b13381a977 7.0/i386/stunnel-3.10-2.i386.rpm
f64584ec8d028508e32ad593b5687712 7.0/SRPMS/stunnel-3.10-2.src.rpm

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat, Inc. for security. Our
key is available at:
http://www.redhat.com/corp/contact.html

You can verify each package with the following command:
rpm –checksig <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been
corrupted or tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the
following command:
rpm –checksig –nogpg <filename>
