        Thanks.  I'd tried that, and it didn't work, so I tried it the 
other way.  But now being certain of the right way to do it (thanks to 
Brian!), I tracked down a problem with the Fedora core 1 installation 
where it says "Cannot create pid file: /stunnel.pid".  To resolve it, I 
created an stunnel user/group, and set those to the owner of 
/var/run/stunnel, and the user/group in the config file, and it now works 
beautifully.  But I described the problem here because Google wasn't 
showing anything on it :).
