Syntax:

<filename> - use specified config file instead of /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
-fd <n> - read the config file from a file descriptor
-help - get config file help
-version - display version and defaults
-sockets - display default socket options

Well then copy /usr/share/doc/stunnel-4.15/stunnel.conf over to /etc/stunnel/ and configure it.
* BTW your question is about configuring Stunnel so posting Yum output is not relevant to your question.

HI
i had moved conf file /etc/stunnel but how can i start the stunnel service. i could int able to find stunnel service in /etc/init.d

can some one help me how can i start stunnel

See comment #3 for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455815#c3 reasons why.


Three ways really:
- download stunnel-4.47.tar.gz, extract stunnel-4.47/tools/stunnel.init.in or
- use any example already available on the 'net or
- write one yourself (for examples see /etc/rc.d/init.d/*).

* For all three options goes you should aim to make the initscript conform to the guidelines for SysV-style Initscripts, then install it into /etc/rc.d/init.d (like 'install /path/to/your/script' -o root -g root -m 0750 -Z "system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t" -D /etc/rc.d/init.d/stunnel;') and then you probably need to run 'chkconfig --add stunnel && chkconfig --level 3 stunnel on; service stunnel start' afterwards.
