[Bug 137472] Re: stunnel4 init.d script reports startup failures with pid=error message even when not so

[Peter]

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      0 :::119                  :::*                    LISTEN      1504/cyrmaster

I don't know why, but nntp is activated in /etc/cyrus.conf by default.
Comment out the nntp service in cyrus:

#nntp           cmd="nntpd -U 30" listen="nntp" prefork=0 maxchild=100

After that stunnel4 started without an error. Conclusion: check if no
other process is using the ports you want to use with stunnel.
