[erlang-questions] Network communications fails with R13B02-1 on OS X

[Joel Reymont]

Dave,

You haven't modified __DARWIN_FD_SETSIZE in sys/_structs.h, have you?

What is your system ulimit -n setting?

I know for a fact that if you change the system-wide FD_SETSIZE via  
_structs.h then epmd and ssl_esock stop working when ulimit -n is high  
enough. I used to start epmd manually but then resorted to compiling  
OTP with a high system FD_SETSIZE and then recompiling just ssl_esock  
and epmd with a low setting.

I would bet epmd is the issue, try starting it manually in the non- 
demon mode and see what it says.
