For what it's worth, MacOS X 10.9 doesn't accept those command line options.
% netstat -a
shows these
tcp4       0      0  localhost.epmd         localhost.61991 ESTABLISHED
tcp4       0      0  localhost.61991        localhost.epmd ESTABLISHED
tcp4       0      0  *.61990                *.* LISTEN
tcp4       0      0  *.epmd                 *.* LISTEN
when running with -sname; no lines contain 'beam'.

I would like to know what the right command line options are for Mac OS X,
if this is wrong.
