RedHat Stunnel as non root !!
HI

I'm trying to install stunnel as(or in) non-root user.
there are these options setuid and setgid in stunnel.conf ,that by default are "nobody". but u can change them to "user" .. to enable stunnel in non root mode
I tried doing it but no luck.

Please drop in your valuable suggestions

Thanks
