[rabbitmq-discuss] Return of 'getting started, broker runs; can't get status'

[J Aaron Farr]

Despite having followed all of the directions on Dmitriy Samovskiy’s
article [1], I consistently see the following when trying to get
rabbitmq up and running:

    $ sudo rabbitmqctl status
    Status of node rabbit at localhost ...
    {badrpc,nodedown}
    ...done.


Details:

 - Mac OS X 10.5.8
 - Erlang installed from source (otp_src_R13B01)
 - RabbitMQ installed from source (rabbitmq-server-1.6.0.tar.gz)
 - rabbitmq user created
 - telnet to 127.0.0.1:5672 works
 - net_admin:names() returns `{ok,[{"rabbit",54472},{"foo",54740}]}`


Any other thoughts?
