[erlang-questions] Securing link between nodes

[Jordan Wilberding]

Well I traced down my error for thinking I was using SSL, but actually
wasn't anyways. I have come across an error now. When I do:

erl -boot start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl

Everything works just fine, but when I try setting a game with:

erl -boot start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl -sname ssl_test

Everything goes crazy with this error message:
