+The stunnel program is designed to work as SSL encryption
+wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or
+remote server. The concept is that having non-SSL aware dae-
+mons running on your system you can easily setup them to
+communicate with clients over secure SSL channel.
+
+stunnel can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly
+used inetd daemons like POP-2, POP-3 and IMAP servers
+without any changes in the programs' code.
