I'm having the same problem as you: i want to start a slave without 
proxied I/O.

After some digging, i discover that you only have to remove the "-master 
node()" argument in the mk_cmd fun to do that (slave.erl module).


It would be nice to add an extra argument to slave:start/start_link :

something like:

start(Host, Name, Args, ExtraArgs)

where ExtraArgs can be:[noproxy]

I can write a patch if necessary.
