Usually I use [stunnel](http://www.stunnel.org/?ref=yovko.net) to read and send my emails via our [FSDL](http://www.fsdl.org/?ref=yovko.net)‘s TLS/SMTP or SSL/POP3 proxy. After the upgrade to Fedora Core 2 last week my stunnel didn’t want to start at all. It complained with the message: *Unable to open „/dev/cryptonet“*. Actually I’ve never had such kind of device on my Linux box. Google also didn’t know anything about that /dev/cryptonet – only one [result](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%2Fdev%2Fcryptonet&btnG=Google+Search&ref=yovko.net). Some script that actually was a hint for me…

The problem was very stupid. I found installed hwcrypto.rpm package for hardware crypto devices… probably after the upgrade procedure. I don’t need it and just uninstall it

> rpm -e hwcrypto

Everything is OK now.
