[erlang-questions] receiving pang from net_adm:ping/1 even though net_adm:names/0 shows the other node

[Dennis Byrne]

I tried that as well but went with the simpler example to the list.
Here's what -name does ...

>From Console A ...

$ erl -name foo -setcookie c

>From Console B ...

$ erl -name bar -setcookie c
(bar@REDACTED)1> net_adm:names().
{error,nxdomain}
(bar@REDACTED)2> net_adm:ping(bar@REDACTED).
pong
(bar@REDACTED)3> net_adm:ping(foo@REDACTED).
pang

>From Console C ...

$ /usr/local/lib/erlang/erts-5.6.4/bin/epmd -names
epmd: up and running on port 4369 with data:
name bar at port 51557
name foo at port 51555

Same problem, but notice that net_adm:names/0 no longer works correctly.
