[erlang-questions] Question about slave:start()

[Ben Lackey]

Thanks Vlad! That's it!

It looks like the issue was that when I just run erl I get:

C:\Windows\system32>erl
Eshell V5.7.5  (abort with ^G)
1> node().

2>

However, when I specify the node name master, erlang seems to pick up 
the name of the computer columbia as well.  Is this a bug or some sort 
of feature I don't understand?

C:\Windows\system32>erl -sname master
Eshell V5.7.5  (abort with ^G)
(
)1> node().

(
)2> slave:start(columbia, slavenode).
{
}
(
)3>

Thanks,
Ben
