pool and fully qualified node names

[HEINRICH VENTER]

Hi

Something is puzzling me.  
I start an erlang node with a fully qualified name

erl -name test@REDACTED -config sys

When I start a new pool from this node with

pool:start(thingy).

The results are a bit confusing.  My .hosts.erlang file contains two fully qualified node names

'dev.mynodes.net'.
'hsm.mynodes.net'.

But the pool creation gives the following errors

=ERROR REPORT==== 11-Nov-2003::09:24:31 ===
** System running to use fully qualified hostnames **
** Hostname dev is illegal **

=ERROR REPORT==== 11-Nov-2003::09:24:32 ===
** System running to use fully qualified hostnames **
** Hostname hsm is illegal **

BUT the slave node starts up correctly if I have a look at pool:get_nodes()

If I use short names I dont get the error, but then the local node is not included in the pool.

Then I have a second question:  Does the slave node only look for modules only in the standard lib directories?

Does any one have an example (or wisdom to share) of using pool?
