    >From reading the man page for gethostbyname(3) I see that I can set
    the environment variable HOSTALIASES to point to a file with local
    aliases. When I do that, it doesn't seem to be working.

    $ cat hostalias
    deb ftp.debian.org

    $ export HOSTALIASES=$HOME/hostalias

    $ ftp deb
    ftp: deb: Name or service not known

    Has anyone gotten HOSTALIASES to work properly? I'm running sarge.
