You shouldn't need inetd to use sslh's inetd mode -- it's
really just a different way to interact with its
environment.

I would suspect that you have stunnel 4 installed, which
IIRC only uses a configuration file and doesn't accept many
command line parameters. You'll need to look up how to
configure your stunnel.conf to do what you want it to do. I
can't help much there as I haven't really used stunnel 4.

Note that instead of using sslh's inetd mode as above, you
can run sslh listening on one port and get stunnel to
forward to that port:

stunnel -f -p stunnel.pem -d mkanetpc:443 -r 5000
sslh -p mkanetpc:5000 --http localhost:80 --ssh localhost:22

The good thing about this method is that it lets you test
both sides independently to help find what is not working.
