    Waaay back why I was setting up u9fs on my Solaris box, according
    to the logs, the connecting machine wasn't considered valid
    (I think the getpeername() was failing, though memory's vague).

don't you mean gethostbyaddr()?  the reverse dns lookup after getpeername().
it's unlikely getpeername() is going to fail, unless the code is bust :-)
