spurious warning about used nickname
I'm wondering why I suddenly got at both of my 2 Tor exit relays (0.3.2.2.-alpha, running at the same machine) the following message:
/tmp/notice2.log:Oct 07 22:41:58.000 [warn] You specified a relay "zwiebeltoralf2" by name, but nicknames can be used by any relay, not just the one you meant. To make sure you get the same relay in the future, refer to it by key, as "$6EABEBF38CE7E3DF672C4DB01383606FE3EB2215".
/tmp/notice.log:Oct 07 22:39:53.000 [warn] You specified a relay "zwiebeltoralf" by name, but nicknames can be used by any relay, not just the one you meant. To make sure you get the same relay in the future, refer to it by key, as "$1AF72E8906E6C49481A791A6F8F84F8DFEBBB2BA".when I queried the Tor status via a home-brewed Python script [1]. I do assume that the message is related to line 90 ot that script:
flags = controller.get_network_status(relay=srv.nickname).flags
