    stunnel setup with certs

    I have tried for 3 days now to setup stunnel to have a agent go through port 22 from my agent to my server and cannot get it to work at all. I have searched the internet and this site and I cannot find an example of how to do this.

    What I need is a how to, I just don't understand what I've found so far and I'm getting nowhere.

    within stunnel.conf on my zabbix_agent I have

    [zabbix_agent]
    accept = 22
    connect = localhost:10050

    all others eg, pop3s, ssmtp, are commented out. No Certificate at this time.

    On the server I have

    [zabbix_agent]
    accept = 22
    connect = localhost:10050

    all others eg, pop3s, ssmtp, are commented out. With certificates stunnel.pem and mail.pem

    Try to start stunnel on either side gives me this:

    Starting SSL tunnels: [Failed: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf]
    You should check that you have specified the pid= in you configuration file

    Just want to open a tunnel to my server to send it monitoring information.

    My agent machine also has zabbix_proxy on it and an offsite child server will send information to it to be forwarded to my parent server. The offsite has to go through a firewall on port 2202. Again same issue, nothing doing.

    So if someone could take me by the hand and walk me through I would be very grateful as I'm going bald tearing my hair out

    Once again here is my ultimate dream to achieve, I know it can be done!

    zabbix-parent-Node1 <- ssh:22 -> zabbix-agent
    ------^^--------------<- ssh:22 -> zabbix-proxy <- ssh:2202-> <-internet-> <-ssh:2202-> zabbix-child-Node2


    zabbix-agent and zabbix-proxy on same machine. All servers Debian Linux X64, Zabbix is working fine on each end.
