[rabbitmq-discuss] Plz give me help about EPMD: Non-local peer connected

Ah ok great. I'm on CentOS 6, and I found that setting up the hostname 
so that Erlang was *happy* with it took a bit of fiddling around.

My configuration looks like this:

t4 at iske $ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1    iske
::1    localhost

t4 at iske $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=no
HOSTNAME=iske

You can check this with system-config-network as well. Are you seeing 
something similar?
