stunnel not running? (check /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid)

[Noah]

Okay I am not understanding something with stunnel. it appears that
stunnel cant start because it cant create a pid file. It happens every
time I upgrade it.

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel restart
stunnel not running? (check /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid).
Starting stunnel.
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/stunnel restart
stunnel not running? (check /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid).
Starting stunnel.
#

Anybody help me understand things here. so here is the relevent output
which I can provide some clues.

I notice below that you have modified the rc script, but even after mimicking
your changes, I cannot reproduce your problem -- stunnel starts (and creates
a pid) just fine. What is logged to /var/log/messages by stunnel?

It should not be trying to create a pid file in /tmp. There is a
configuration file being read that is directly stunnel to that location.
