", 1)])
addprocs(1)
```
Note that I can make as many addprocs calls to remote as I like, and then follow that with one or more local calls, and all is well, but any subsequent remote calls will always fail. I am running official build of 0.6.2 on up to date arch linux. I am calling addprocs manually at the REPL, a single call at a time. I get the following error, the second bit only after hitting Ctrl-C:
```julia

Which is all fairly meaningless to me. Just thought I’d bring it up.

This definitely seems like a bug. Can you sile an issue?

From the official [Julia 0.6 manual](https://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.6/manual/parallel-computing/):
> LocalManager, used by addprocs(N), by default binds only to the loopback interface. This means that workers started later on remote hosts (or by anyone with malicious intentions) are unable to connect to the cluster. An addprocs(4) followed by an addprocs([“remote\_host”]) will fail. Some users may need to create a cluster comprising their local system and a few remote systems. This can be done by explicitly requesting LocalManager to bind to an external network interface via the restrict keyword argument: addprocs(4; restrict=false).

That’s what I get for posting before reading to the bottom of the page 😊 Thanks for the info.
