[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ on OSX - Having Problems...

Sat May 16 20:52:14 BST 2009

Just reading this (for the n'th time!)

http://somic.org/2009/02/19/on-rabbitmqctl-and-badrpcnodedown/

When i run the the erl shell with: “erl -sname foo -cookie coo” and
run this command: “net_adm:names().” I keep seeing the rabbit in the
list (its my understanding that it should not feature there?)

Thoughts?

Cheers, Tim
