Tor clients without geoip DB log that they are configured to collect stats
this is confusing, and might provoke some "OMG I AM A CLIENT WHAT KIND OF STATS ARE YOU COLLECTING" arguments (two people on #tor asked about this and one on the blog, now I know how they learned about stats stuff).
probably a patch like this:
diff --git a/src/or/config.c b/src/or/config.c
index ca4e71c..01d4036 100644
--- a/src/or/config.c
+++ b/src/or/config.c

}
- if (options->CellStatistics || options->DirReqStatistics ||
- options->EntryStatistics || options->ExitPortStatistics) {
+ if (server_mode(options) &&
+ (options->CellStatistics || options->DirReqStatistics ||
+ options->EntryStatistics || options->ExitPortStatistics)) {
time_t now = time(NULL);
int print_notice = 0;
if ((!old_options || !old_options->CellStatistics) &&
or something would fix it, but I need to look closer at it.
