Some peers do not appreciate receiving a presentation address, which is why statd/sm_notify avoid sending them. I think it would be better to _skip_ this address and print the warning?

I was just trying to keep it in line with the behavior you had added in e22f5a9c (statd: statd fails to monitor if no reverse mapping of mon_name exists). As it stands now, if get_nameinfo() fails outright then the presentation address is used and we're able to monitor the peer just fine... but get_nameinfo() succeeds and returns an empty hostname then we ultimately wind up failing to monitor the peer. > > I think it would be better to _skip_ this address and print the > warning?

OK, I see the “bug-for-bug compatible” red flag in the description of e22f5a9c. I guess this shouldn’t even fire a warning then, it should just return the address. We should correct the documenting comment for statd_canonical_name(). Just delete the sentence that begins “We won’t monitor peers”.
