 \term{epmd} must be running and listening for name requests in the port 4369.
 You should block the port 4369 in the firewall in such a way that
 only the programs in your machine can access it.
+or configure the option \term{ERL\_EPMD\_ADDRESS} in the file \term{ejabberdctl.cfg}
+(this option works only in Erlang/OTP R14B03 or higher).
 
 If you build a cluster of several \ejabberd{} instances,
 each \ejabberd{} instance is called an \ejabberd{} node.
