stunnel not picking up arguments

[Neil Aggarwal]

Hello:

I am trying to set-up a stunnel for my CVS pserver 
on my RedHat 7.1 box.

Everything is working fine with the CVS pserver.

I tried to type this command manually:
stunnel -d 22401 -l /usr/bin/cvs -- --allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver

As I understand it from the man page, everything after the first --
will be taken as arguments to the command after the -l argument.

But, if I look in /var/log/messages, I get these messages:
Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28510]: Using '--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot
pserver' as tcpwrapper service name
Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28510]: stunnel 3.13 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu
PTHREAD+LIBWRAP
Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28511]: Cannot create pid file
/var/run/stunnel.--allow-root=/usr/local/cvsroot pserver.pid
Jan 27 15:18:09 dev stunnel[28511]: Create: No such file or directory (2)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
        Neil.
