Debugging inter-node spawning...

[Lennart Öhman]

Hi,

I see one and can think of also one other problem in your
example.

1) Have you set the cookies?
   Try erlang:set_cookie(node(),myfavoritecookie).
   on both nodes.

2) > (foo1@REDACTED)2> spawn(echosvr,io,format,["echo"]).
   echosvr is not a complete node name. Try the atom 'echosvr@REDACTED'
   instead.

Happy programming!
