Gosh, Vlad, how can you say it is not documented? I mean, it clearly states in the comments to the Erlang C source code in erts/emulator/beam/dist.c that<br><br>**<br>** n must be a valid node name: string of ([a-z][A-Z][0-9]_-)+<br>
** <br><br>It only took me 20 minutes to track this down. Don't you know, Real Programmers Don't Need No Steenking Documentation, They Just Read The Code ;-)<br><br><b>(Disclaimer: In case anyone inadvertently takes this rant literally and gets ticked off, it was written with heavy irony and tongue firmly in cheek).</b><br>

Hi,<br><br>I couldn't find any documentation regarding which node names are allowed, so I had to trace it down in the emulator code. <br><br>Node names must conform to the following regexp: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+<br><br>Maybe it should be added to the docs.<br>
