I start ejabberd with:

erl -pa /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin -sname ejabberd -s ejabberd -ejabberd config \"/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg\"

...and get some progress reports in the shell ending with:

application: ejabberd
started at: ejabberd@USBOU1-DADAUGHT2 (that is the hostname...)

when I then try to use ejabberdctl I type the command:

ejabberdctl ejabberd@USBOU1-DADAUGHT2 status (or any other argument like register...) and I get this error:

Cant get node ejabberd@USBOU1-DADAUGHT2 status: nodedown.

What can I do to rectify this issue?

To turn off the auto-register functionality check ejabber.cfg for the mod_register section. You can prevent registrations of certain usernames, but I'm not sure if there is any ability to manually "vet" them.

As for the FQDN problem, how did you start ejabberd? Did you use:-

erl -pa /var/lib/ejabberd/ebin -name ejabberd -s ejabberd

As I believe that would be the correct way to do it if your hostname is externally resolvable.
